Charley's first night

By the cover image I wasn't exactly sure what to expect, but I was thinking it was some sort of winter read. However it does take place during the snowy season this is a book about a boy named Henry and his new puppy Charley. The pages are gorgeous with each illustration bordered giving it a fancy storybook feel. The illustrations fabulous and fun to view. I'm not sure I've been familiar with Helen Oxenbury before, but I'm a fan now. Amy Hest had my heart after [b:Little Chick 6265268 Little Chick Amy Hest http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1320539582s/6265268.jpg 6448521] and I'm glad to read her words again. The story starts with carrying Charley home, and the story ends with the boys finally sleeping on his first night. It's a cute reader with beautiful images that will be beneficial for any child, whether they are getting a pet on their on or living through storybook characters. It's fun and a great anytime read, but wonderful for the cold water as well. Thanks to Candlewick Press for providing a copy for review.
