Say goodnight to a good dog, in this padded board book with a touchable, flocked dog on the cover. For one restless pup the waking world is too full of wonder to leave behind at bedtime, until he closes his eyes and finds comfort in his dreams. In the tradition of Goodnight Moon, Mary Lyn Ray's warm and accessible storytelling celebrates the sights and sounds of the night to reassure young children at bedtime.
* "The pace of the page turns gently slows down as this good dog heads to his dreams. Goodnight, Good Dog. Sure to be shelved next to Goodnight Moon. It deserves that rarefied spot." -Kirkus Reviews, starred review
