(3) PS Illustrated by David Slonim. Dog Bailey keeps getting booted from beds, first by his boy and then by the rest of his family. The cross-eyed pooch is so sympathetic that readers will grin when his second attempt to invade the boy's roost proves unexpectedly successful ("Where have you been all night, bed hog dog?"). Charcoal-edged illustrations capture the dishevelment of people chasing sleep.
