Night I Followed the Dog

"Making an auspicious entry into children''s books, Laden provides a stylish, droll answer to the riddle of what dogs do while their owners sleep." —Publishers Weekly"I have a dog. Nothing exotic or special, just an ordinary dog." Or so this little boy thinks—until one morning, when he opens the door a little early and sees his dog jump out of a limousine. That night, he decides to follow his dog, and that''s when the fun starts, in a nighttime romp around town where he learns what adventures dogs get up to while their humans are fast asleep. A terrific read-aloud and true "comedic gem," Nina Laden''s story will have everyone captivated by the coolest dog around (Parents'' Choice)."Laden''s dog characters are especially keenly drawn . . . A whimsical book." —Kirkus Reviews"Sophisticated enough for older children and silly enough for younger listeners, this boy-and-his-dog book has a clever text, great illustrations and strong appeal." —School Library Journal
