(1) PS Illustrated by Lauren Castillo. After a day at the beach, Mom falls asleep reading Lucy a story. "Suddenly Lucy was wide awake." She needs her stuffed animals, and the process of fetching them and tucking them into bed settles Lucy. Smiley evinces a deep understanding of a child's sensibilities; Castillo's color-saturated illustrations capture the family's love and warmth. The titular twenty yawns are incorporated perfectly into the story.
