Bookroo's summary

In a whimsical world, a tiny bug's yawn triggers a sleepy chain reaction. As the Audio-Telly-o-Tally-o Count tallies snoozing creatures from Keck to Krupp, the numbers soar to zillions. Will you resist the contagious yawn, or join the slumbering masses? Dive into this rhyming adventure where laughter meets bedtime, and even the most reluctant sleepers can't help but drift off.

From the publisher

Catch a case of the yawns with Dr. Seuss in this classic rhyming picture book. Bedtime has never been more fun!

A yawn is quite catching, you see. Like a cough.

It just takes one yawn to start other yawns off.

Dr. Seuss spins a sleep-tastic tale about a very small bug and a very big yawn that spreads and spreads. Meanwhile, the Audio-Telly-o-Tally-o Count adds up every sleeping creature from the country of Keck to the Castle of Krupp. First one, then seven, all the way to the billions and zillions, the Who’s-Asleep-Count just keeps growing and growing! This book is a perfect bedtime story that will have the most reluctant readers laughing, and the most reluctant sleepers snoring!

Ninety-nine zillion, nine trillion and two

Creatures are sleeping!
