Charley's First Night

(2) PS Illustrated by Helen Oxenbury. Young Henry agrees to his new puppy Charley sleeping in the kitchen "forever." His parents are "pretty clear" about this, though Henry and Charley disagree and--not surprisingly--are both in Henry's bed by night's end. Henry's forthright account is extended by subtle details in Oxenbury's art. An unsentimental, yet adorable, recasting of an ever-reliable theme.
