“A satisfying picture book that’s just right for bedtime reading” from the New York Times–bestselling author of Stars (Booklist).

It’s time to say goodnight. But what if a dog isn’t sleepy?

Intimate and accessible, this young dog story captures how a reluctant pup warms to bedtime in a way that children will recognize immediately—and find as reassuring as their own beds.

“This effective bedtime story reminds kids that fun will be had again when they wake—but first comes sleep.” —Horn Book

“Sure to be shelved next to Goodnight, Moon. It deserves that rarefied spot.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
