With an intelligent, soft-eyed golden retriever gazing at us from the cover of "Tuesday Tucks Me In" (Roaring Brook Press), we know our heartstrings are about to be pulled. Dog and man care for one another in scenes of surpassing tenderness in this gentle book for 5- to 8-year-olds.

A well-written, informative book.

The reciprocal loyalty and love between dog and owner is palpable and endearing, and photographs of Tuesday resting his head on his master's feet or taking a cab ride will delight dog lovers.

A touching story that will appeal to all dog lovers and to older children, including those with limited reading skills.
