About This Book
Little Pup tries all sorts of things to drift off—counting sheep, gazing at stars, nibbling on his favorite bone, and even playing with mice—but sleep remains elusive. Just when he’s about to give up, a warm, cuddly blanket from Mom wraps him in comfort and love, lulling him into sweet dreams. Perfect for winding down, this tender tale uses soft rhymes and charming pictures to make bedtime peaceful.
