Charley's First Night

Charley's First Night

Two of our most beloved picture book creators team up to tell a classic story of a child, his new puppy, and a first night home.

On Charleyâ€™s first night, Henry carries his new puppy in his old baby blanket all the way to his house. He shows Charley every room, saying, "This is home, Charley." He says that a lot so that Charley will know that he is home. Henryâ€™s parents are very clear about who will be walking and feeding Charley (Henry will, and he canâ€™t wait). They are also very clear about where Charley will be sleeping: Charley will be sleeping in the kitchen. But when the crying starts in the middle of the night, Henry knows right away that itâ€™s Charley! And it looks like his parentsâ€™ idea about where Charley is going to sleep may have to change. With warmth, humor, and endearing simplicity, Amy Hest tells a tale familiar to everyone who has loved a puppy, while Helen Oxenbury renders each tender gesture and charming detail in a beauty of a book that children will be eager to take home.
