The Goldfish Yawned is a simple bedtime story about what can go one while a child is sleeping. It was very repetitive and I felt that it had no point. It mentioned a goldfish, firefly, cat, and sail boat, which I feel has nothing to do with bedtime. There is a boy asleep while all of it is happening, but it just didn't make much sense to me. I probably wouldn't read this book to my classroom, but it could possibly be read during bedtime to younger children. ( )

The illustrations are delightful, although I couldn't help but notice a pair of raccoons who were engaging in some perhaps questionable behavior. ;) ( )
