Bookroo's summary

As night descends on the rain forest, a tiny bug starts a chain reaction of yawns. From the parrot to the snake, gorilla, and crocodile, each creature succumbs to the irresistible call of sleep. Finally, the terribly tired tiger lets out an enormous yawn, signaling bedtime for all. What secrets does the jungle hold as its inhabitants close their eyes? Discover the soothing rhythm of the jungle's nightly ritual and join the animals in their peaceful slumber.

From the publisher

The perfect bedtime book! What happens when night comes to the rain forest? The same thing that happens all over the world – everybody gets tired…and yawns! Move from the tiny open-mouthed yawn of a little bug to the bigger yawn of a parrot, to that of a snake, and a gorilla, and a croc, and the enormous yawn of the terribly tired tiger…then pull the tab that doses all the sleepy eyes in the jungle.
