Book Description
To find a book that parents will want to read to their children is extraordinary. Children's literacy is really about family literacy. That is the contribution of Murphy Dog Bedtime Story. This book will encourage families to read, to share the joy and magic of reading together. Murphy Dog Bedtime Story is rhythmic, light, energetic, and fun. And don't underestimate that fun part. That fun will help to internalize the joy of reading--a step toward maintaining reading as a life-long and intrinsically interesting activity. Illustrator Dianne Lynn has a terrific eye for detail. The watercolors in this book will delight any child. You can almost feel Murphy Dog through the pages of the book. While the book communicates the love between Murphy Dog and the children, it also clearly conveys the love that the author holds for Murphy Dog. The book is to encourage reading. However, the ancillary message about the esteem in which we hold our animals, and the incorporation of animals into our families, is a poignant aspect of this story. There are plenty of books about animals, but few convey such depth of affection that pet lovers will be able to appreciate.

So he's extremely upset when Charlie goes away and leaves him with a sitter-upset enough that he escapes into the woods. With the help of some friendly foxes, Alfie learns to live in the wild, but he never stops thinking of Charlie and trying to find his way home. And Charlie, of course, never stops thinking of Alfie, either. Will these two be able to find each other before it's too late? Featuring irresistible black-and-white line drawings on every spread, Dear Hound is both an accessible, heartwarming story and the perfect choice for readers graduating out of early chapter books.
