From Booklist:

Warm and cozy, this new version of the classic lullaby, "Hush Little Baby," has a small boy trying to settle his puppy for the night. Soft-toned illustrations show the uproarious fun they had all day, chasing sheep and fetching sticks: "Remember splashing through the creek? / Your sloppy smooches on my cheek?" Now they are done with their big day: "It's time to quiet down and stay." In a fun twist at the end, the little dog will not settle down until he is allowed to curl up in bed in the arms of the blissful boy. The cover picture of boy and dog asleep will grab young preschoolers, as will the rhymes that tell a sweet pet story along with the lullaby. Rochman, Hazel
