As a child, I had a deep-seated dream of having a dog as my loyal companion. This universal desire to care for and love a furry friend fuels the emotional life of many young children, including my own daughter who tenderly cares for her beloved pet Biscuit. When I sit down to write about our experiences with Biscuit, my daughter's gentle voice and patient actions guide me through the story.

It was at this pivotal moment in time that the seeds of Biscuit were sown. As we welcomed him into our home, I couldn't help but be transported back to my own childhood bedroom where I would spend hours poring over my worn copy of 'Henry and Ribsy' by Beverly Cleary. My daughter's conversations with Biscuit, as if he understood every word she was saying, brought me immense joy.

In our household, bedtime routines are a special treat for both humans and animals alike. Our guest of honor is often a neighbor's large, tawny dog who, despite being too excited to settle down, is always eager for attention. As my daughter brings a bedtime snack, blanket, and doll to our rambunctious guest, I am reminded of the countless hours I spent reading about dogs in books as a child.

Fast forward to years later, and I find myself happily hosting a 'puppy sleepover' with my young daughter. Henry became my soulmate, and his dog Ribsy remains my favorite puppy. When Henry found Ribsy and brought him home in a cardboard box, it gave me hope that one day I would have a real puppy of my own.

The librarian at our local public library played a significant role in nurturing my love for books about dogs. Through weekly trips to the library, I devoured countless stories and felt closer than ever before to realizing my dream of having a real puppy. Growing up in Brooklyn, New York, I always dreamed of having a dog as my loyal companion, and through the magic of books, that dream became a reality.

The 'Good Night Biscuit Book' is a heartwarming tale that celebrates the special bond between humans and animals. As we drift off to sleep with our furry friends by our side, we are reminded of the joy and companionship they bring to our lives.
