Charlie has a new puppy that’s everything a boy could ask for in a dog. There’s just one thing wrong – the dog doesn’t want to go to sleep. Charlie tries everything he can think of – a blanket, a teddy bear, even a pacifier – and still Baxter won’t sleep. It’s only when Charlie realizes what Baxter really wants that both dog and boy can sleep peacefully. Simple bright colors fill in the bold line drawings and carry the story through to the happy, heartwarming ending.
