The Night I Followed the Dog — Nina Laden

“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
