Good Boy Lukey & the Dream Crumbs, by Linda Beck

 

Lukey represents the "ultimate protection of the night" as he goes about magically sprinkling his dream crumbs. If your child has bad dreams or trouble falling asleep, this may be the book for you, especially if they're a dog lover. If nothing else, it's a cute, imaginative tale told in rhyme with illustrations that should bring a smile to your face. 

The story is short and sweet. Lukey, obviously inspired by a real dog, is somehow both lifelike and comic styled in the illustrations, whereas the humans are nicely drawn but more comic style. It made me smile to note how closely Lukey's pot of dream crumbs resembles the mythical pot of gold, too. And, Lukey seems to always be wearing a smile. Good boy, Lukey, indeed. 

Thanks #NetGalley and #Independently Published for sharing this adorable tale of make-believe with me. Loved his sweet smile and magical red cape.
