About this item:

Hush, hush! Rush, rush! When Baby cries, her family and neighbors try to stop her tears and help her to sleep. But all their rushing and hushing, tickling and rocking, and feeding and burping can't stop Baby's tears. Roy, the old retriever, knows what Baby needs to fall asleep―her little white sheep! In this rhythmic and soothing lullaby of a story, doggy knows best. Good boy, Roy!

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Baby-Toddler—A baby is crying in the middle of the night. Her parents, grandparents, sister, brother, and neighbors do everything they can think of to make her stop. Roy, the dog, knows the answer all along, but no one is paying attention, and his repeated barks only add to the din. The humorous cumulative text invites participation, as each person's attempt ends with the refrain "But the more they tried, the more that baby cried…W-A-A-A-A!" Yelchin's mixed-media illustrations are fun and full of life. The characters have the look of watercolor cutouts, arranged on top of vibrantly colored, swirling, painted backgrounds. What the baby wants is her toy lamb, a solution that children will predict from the beginning of the story. Child readers will love being in on the joke, identifying with Roy and an equally perplexed mouse as they try to help the clueless humans. Beautifully composed, each page propels the story to a climactic spread filled with hula hooping, magic tricks, juggling, soap bubbles, and music! With everyone else busy, Roy is finally able to deliver the toy to the baby, who smiles and falls asleep, at last. VERDICT The only tears shed at bedtime will be ones of laughter when families are reading this delightful book.—Lucinda Snyder Whitehurst, St. Christopher's School, Richmond, VA

Review

“The humorous cumulative text invites participation . . . Yelchin's mixed-media illustrations are fun and full of life. . . . Beautifully composed, each page propels the story to a climactic spread filled with hula hooping, magic tricks, juggling, soap bubbles, and music!” ―School Library Journal

“The amusing illustrations of popular animals and the jaunty rhythm and rhyme will make this a favorite.” ―
Kirkus Reviews on Who Ate All the Cookie Dough?

“Sometimes the full savor of a book only comes through silent absorption. . . . Children old enough to read will get the full force of the harmonious combination of Lee Wardlaw's wry verse and Eugene Yelchin's witty illustration.” ―
The Wall Street Journal on Won Ton

“Yelchin's bright, graphite and gouache illustrations are almost impressionistic; they catch the eye and complement the text well.” ―
School Library Journal on Seeds, Bees, Butterflies, and More!

It was such a hit (she LOVED that she could "read along" with the repetition) that I have ordered it to give as gifts for other kids her age.

As a teacher, dog owner and mom of two (3 and 1yo), I love this book. Good rhythm, humorous premise, fun pictures, and not too many words per page for the younger ones. We read it so many times at the library that we finally bought our own copy!

3.0 out of 5 stars Goodreads reviews are significantly lower....

D.B. · August 25, 2016

Eh. I may have just had too-high of hopes for this book, being a big-dog owner waiting on their first child. But this was just...pretty boring. The idea of a family being unable to understand why a child is crying, while the dog is completely aware, seems cute enough. But the text just didn't seem to flow all that well. I was more impratient for them to pay attention to the dog than amused at the misunderstanding.Perhaps others will enjoy this more, but I do see that the Goodreads reviews are averaging about 3-stars, as well. Which means a significant number of people liked this even less.Try it from your library before a purchase. But for me, I'll be keeping an eye out for other books about dogs and babies. The one I want has to be out there....

Nice

Teaches how do we need to listen to the animals and here, the sensibility of the retrievers!
