Charlie tries hard to keep his new puppy, Baxter, from barking at night, but nothing works until Baxter finally makes his way up the stairs into Charlie's room. "Because Baxter didn't want a blanket...or a teddy...or a pacifier....He wanted Charlie!" The stylized illustrations, with their unusual chunky shapes, are hard to decipher, but they give this satisfying pet story a distinctive look.
