The illustrations expand the narrative and express its tone visually...A satisfying picture book that’s just right for bedtime reading." —Booklist   "This snuggly bedtime story shows the dog’s girl going happily and quickly to sleep while he pads restlessly about the house, creating a potentially empowering contrast for human bedtime resisters." —School Library Journal   * "The pace of the page turns gently slows down as this good dog heads to his dreams. Goodnight, Good Dog. Sure to be shelved next to Goodnight, Moon. It deserves that rarefied spot." —Kirkus, starred review   * "Ray...again proves herself a gifted writer, capable of highly distilled poetic prose that's beautifully accessible and allusive.
