  What real parents are saying … 
  “My high-energy toddler twins are asleep in 15 minutes. Bedtime used to take nearly 2 hours—but with Rocket’s calming narration and the beautiful stories from the Yawnimals box set, our nights have totally transformed. They YAWN on cue when Rocket YAWNS, and they’re asleep before the story ends.”

  “Their favorites are Amanda the Panda (they love the journey), Benny the Bear (truly magical for relaxation), and Lincoln the Lizard (hello, Monster Trucks!).” 
  “The stories are soothing, my toddlers love the illustrations, and this is now our must-have bedtime ritual. I can’t recommend this enough—it’s a total lifesaver for tired parents.”

  Sing a song o' sixpence, a handful of rye, 
  Four-and-twenty blackbirds baked in a pie; 
  When the pie was opened the birds began to sing, 
  Wasn't that a dainty dish to set before the King? 
  So, what does this strange old nursery song mean? Or is it just nonsense?  If you have never heard the legend of Gilligren and the King's pie you will scarcely understand the above verse; so let Frank Baum, the man who wrote the Wizard of OZ, tell you the whole story, and then you will be able to better appreciate the rhyme. 
  Gilligren was an orphan, and lived with an uncle and aunt who were very unkind to him. They cuffed him and scolded him upon the slightest provocation, and made his life very miserable indeed. Gilligren never rebelled against this treatment, but bore their cruelty silently and with patience, although often he longed to leave them and seek a home amongst kinder people.
