Charley`s First Night

This story tells of the beginning of a close bond of friendship between Henry and his new pet dog, Charley. On Charley`s first night, Henry carries his new puppy in his old baby blanket, all the way to his house. He shows Charley every room, saying, “This is home, Charley.” Henry`s parents make it very clear where Charley will be sleeping: in the kitchen. But when Charley starts crying in the middle of the night … Henry simply can`t leave his puppy down there by himself! With warmth, humour and endearing simplicity, Amy Hest tells a tale familiar to everyone who has loved a puppy, while Helen Oxenbury`s illustrations portray each tender gesture and charming detail. A beauty of a book.
