Aunt Roza’s dress is extreeeeemely big, as big as 9 by 12 metres. And everyone is welcome to come and sit on her lap while she tells the story of the Yawning Dragon. Try as he might, this great big dragon simply cannot fall asleep, so he sets out on a journey to steal the yawns of little children, which may finally help him to sleep. Having collected all of those yawns, he returns to his tall tower and eats them all up in one big gulp. Finally, the Yawning Dragon falls into a deep, deep sleep. But now none of the children can sleep. They decide to take action, and set out in search of the Yawning Dragon. If they all put their heads together, they just might be able to solve this great big sleeping problem.
