For the Parents: is a story based on the fact that yawning is contagious. The key to this book is to let out a big yaaaawn every time you read "s-l-e-e-p-y m-o-n-k-e-y" spelled out like this. You will soon find that after the third or fourth time, if your child was restless, he or she will settle down nicely and be well on his or her way to sleep. I hope your children enjoy this story as much as mine have over the years.
