About This Book

A yawn is quite catching, you see. Like a cough. It just takes one yawn to start other yawns off. This interactive touch-and-feel book lets toddlers snuggle and squish the soft beds, bellies, and pillows of Dr. Seuss's iconic sleepy characters! A new Dr. Seuss Nursery Collection title with interactive fun for baby based on Dr. Seuss's Sleep Bookβ€”just in time to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the classic bedtime story.

Our Review

This interactive touch-and-feel book transforms classic Dr. Seuss characters into a sensory bedtime experience, featuring soft, squishable beds, bellies, and pillows that little fingers can explore. The gentle, rhyming text captures the contagious nature of yawning, creating a perfect wind-down rhythm for the preschool set. This sturdy board book format stands up to enthusiastic handling while introducing the whimsical world of Dr. Seuss to the youngest readers through tactile engagement and soothing repetition.

What makes this bedtime book particularly effective is how it combines early literacy development with sensory play, encouraging both fine motor skills and language acquisition through its rhythmic patterns. Parents seeking calming nighttime routines will appreciate how the soft textures and familiar characters create immediate comfort and connection. The book successfully bridges the gap between playful interaction and peaceful transition to sleep, making it an ideal choice for toddlers who benefit from hands-on learning and predictable bedtime rituals.
