Review
Sleep descends upon an adorable puppy only after an adventure and Mom's last kiss and tuck. With the moon as his accomplice Little Pup explores his neighborhood visiting all the creatures who inhabit the area. When told to go to bed by the badger our sweet puppy returns to his basket in search of sleep. It is the magic of a mother's love and a new soft blanket that do the trick.
Pre-school age children will enjoy both the story line and colorful illustrations. Early readers may be challenged by some words and might identify with a tired puppy who cannot sleep. The font is large and clearly printed even when the background is fairly dark. Recommended for library collections and families with toddlers and dogs.
