A lonely man tries to buy a pillow . . . and ends up with a new best friend in this silly and sweet doggy tale, perfect for fans of Officer Buckle and Gloria.Dogs make good pillows, don't they?
A clever pup ends up in a cozy home, and she'll do anything to stay there. She impersonates everything the lonely homeowner needs--a pillow, a footstool, a jacket. But in the end, being herself works best. Laura Gehl's spare, humorous text and
New Yorker cartoonist Christopher Weyant's expressive characters will leave young readers giggling and begging for more.
Laura Gehl's previous books include
