I Dare You Not to Yawn

 

Quick! Close your mouth!

 

Especially if your eyes feel droopy, your shoulders feel sloopy, and your mouth feels like it wants to stretch open wide to let out a great big yawny yaaaaaawn — hey, you were supposed hold it in! Oh, dear. You know what happens next, don’t you?

 

(You were warned. You can’t say you weren’t warned!)

 

A hilarious—and infectious—cautionary fable that is so much fun, readers will beg for it again and again, whatever the consequences!
