Kids will be giggling through their own yawns as they enjoy this contagiously adorable bedtime story by the New York Times bestselling illustrator of the Ordinary People Change the World books.
Christopher Eliopoulos is the illustrator of the New York Times bestselling Ordinary People Change the World series of picture book biographies. He began his illustration career as a letterer for Marvel and has worked on thousands of comics, including his own Cosmic Commandos and Monster Mayhem graphic novels. He lives in New Jersey with his wife and their identical twin sons (when the boys are home from college).
"When bedtime beckons, it will be impossible to get through this
book aloud without summoning yawns—bedtime success is
guaranteed." —Booklist
"Every child who has had a sleepover can relate to this silly tale,
which turns the important aspiration of staying up all night into
an adventure . . . Hilarious bedtime fun, ideal for
sharing—provided the dozes hold off." —Kirkus
"Amid fun-filled antics in Eliopoulos’s signature style, his use of
soothing cool colors plays out against ample white space, cleverly
centering exaggerated yawns and bleary eyes that are all too easy
to mimic, making for a surprisingly soporofic
read." —Publishers Weekly
"The vibrant, dynamic art calls up Winick’s Hilo series, with
playful, robust digital figures in cool-toned colors against white
background, and the increasingly panicked and then sleepy
expressions of the two pals match the book’s action and
pace." —BCCB
"Eliopoulos ably conveys the contagiousness of a yawn—and the
contagiousness of kids' enthusiasm for sleepover fun. The
not-sosleepy comic-style digital illustrations and
speech-bubble-heavy text add accessibility and appeal." —Horn Book
