Author Description

Nothing's sweeter and better to help a child say "good night" than this endearing, charmingly illustrated tale of a boy trying to convince his dog to take a nap. Just like a loving parent, he places Petey the pup into his doggie bed, gives the animal his own stuffed toy to curl up with, wraps the pooch in a soft, warm blanket, and promises him a snack and a trip to the park when he wakes. But Petey has things other than sleep on his mind--and soon the smart dog has turned the tables on the tired little boy. The final image of the puppy playing while his owner sleeps will delight both children and their parents.
