From the publisher

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!
