My Pillow Keeps Moving! by Laura Gehl - ADVISABLE

Gehl, Laura My Pillow Keeps Moving!  Illustrated by Christopher Weyant.  PICTURE BOOK.  Viking (Penguin), 2018.  $18. 9780425288245

A dog and cat are shivering outside when they notice a man entering a store in search of a new pillow.  The dog has a stroke of genius, impersonating a pillow, a footstool, and then a coat, in order to get in the man’s good graces. 

Ultimately this book is awfully silly and quite a bit clever.  The dog is so earnest that you can’t like his perseverance and creativity.  Little readers will surely have a laugh.
