Illustrated by
Susan Winter.
A boy settles his puppy down for bedtime, recounting, in rhyme, the activities they enjoyed during the day. It's a nice twist on the classic lullaby, allowing the child to act as caretaker. The text doesn't stand alone; such lines as "Though your nose was berry blue!" are convenient ways to end rhymes but don't make much sense.
