now teddies are you all feeling
cozy excellent oh hello
i'm justin now all the toys are feeling
sleepy and are snuggled up ready for
tonight's bedtime story
are you feeling sleepy yet oh
are you sure i think i just saw a yawn
no maybe not well
i want you to count how many times you
yawn
while listening to tonight's bedtime
story
it's called i dare you not to yawn
and is written by elen boudreau with
illustrations

yawns are sneaky
they can creep up on you when you least
expect them
there you are minding your own business
building the tallest block
tower in the history of the universe or
dressing up the cat
wow when suddenly
your arms stretch up your eyes
squish tight your mouth opens
wide your tongue curls back
and
[Music]
a yawn pops out well next thing you know
you're being sent upstairs to put your
pajamas on
pajamas lead to bedtime stories
bedtime stories lead to the sleepy time
song
and sleepy time songs lead to good night
hugs and kisses
before you know it you're tucked into
bed snug as a bug
and wondering how did i get here
so if you're not ready to go to bed
follow these tips and do
not yawn
if someone else yawns like your baby
brother
or your big sister or the dog
ah look away yawns
are like colds they spread
stay away from huggable stuffed animals
soft cozy pajamas and your favorite
blankie
because
[Music]
these can make you feel snuggly
avoid bedtime stories about
sleepy baby animals like tiger cubs
arching their backs in one last stretch
their eyes squished tight and their
tongues
curled back
[Music]
or you might start to feel stretchy too
don't sing sleepy time songs about
twinkling stars or
barring sheep especially the counting
kind
one sheep two sheep
and whatever you do don't think of a
a droopy-eyed baby a rang-a-tang
holding its long arms out for a hug
from its mama it's little mouth forming
a a perfect
oh if you try all these things
but a yawn still creeps up and grabs
hold of you
quick cover your mouth
to keep it from escaping because if your
arms
stretch up
[Music]
your eyes squish tight
your mouth opens wide
[Laughter]
your tongue curls back
and a yawn pops out
then off to bed you'll go
see i told you yawns
are sneaky
how many times did you yawn well i
didn't yawn
even once yep
[Music]
oh dear whoops i think it's time to
snuggle down like our friends here
and yawn ourselves to sleep i'll see you
soon for another bedtime story
night night sleepy heads
and another watch more on
