MY PILLOW KEEPS MOVING

by Laura Gehl
illustrated by Christopher Weyant

(This week's #ReviewsDay pick is from cottager Anika Denise.)

What it's all about...
A puppy sneaks into a store and impersonates a pillow for sale... and then a footstool... and then a jacket.

Why I love it...
Um... because a PUPPY sneaks into a STORE and impersonates a PILLOW FOR SALE!! And then a footstool!! And. Then. A. Jacket.

Favorite lines...
I bought a pillow here and I think it is broken.

What seems to be the problem, sir?

My pillow keeps MOVING!

Sir, is your pillow soft?

Yes...

Is your pillow fluffy?

Well, yes...

Then your pillow is not broken, sir.

Would you like a sticker?

Favorite illustrations...

What's the kid-appeal?
Sweet and increasingly silly, this story will have kids giggling the whole way through. Laura Gehl (Peep and Egg) hits a humor home run with fuzzy pets, funny banter, a few poof-toot-burps, and lots of feel-good doggy love. New Yorker cartoonist Christopher Weyant's illustrations pair perfectly with Gehl's giddy text.

What's the grownup appeal?
It's a super-fun book to read again and again, and trust me — you will get repeat requests.
