Charley's First Night

Helen Oxenbury and Amy Hest team up in Atticus's new library favorite - Charley's First Night. Henry Korn brings home his new dog, Charley, one snowy night. Henry is excited to show Charley his home and to begin his care-taking duties. His parents' one rule was - No dogs sleeping in his bed. When Charley wakes up in the night, will Henry be able to follow his parents' rule? Not only are the pictures in this book adorable, but the language is a bit stream of consciousness, just like a toddler. Even Ivy likes this one.
