For a little puppy who can't fall asleep, a darkened bedroom can be a lonely place. As his family prepares for bed, he lies awake and is frightened. It is very dark... but he is not alone. Outside his window, the moon rises in the sky. The moon promises to stay awake and keep him safe. There's nothing to fear at night when the moon is keeping watch. And in the morning, it's the puppy's turn to keep watch for the sleeping moon.
"The careful layout of text and illustration adds greatly to the mood and poetic rhythm of this enchanting bedtime story."
School Library Journal
"With just a few strokes of his brush, Raschka, an almost visionary minimalist and a master of whimsy, outlines the sleeping household, and sets the story asail across a nighttime sky of peaceful blue."
