About This Book

From #1 bestselling author-illustrator Dav Pilkey, a Caldecott Honor picture book about a boy, his dog, and the solitude they share before the world wakes up.
In the still before dawn, while the rest of the world is sleeping, a boy and his dog leave the comfort of their warm bed to deliver newspapers. As the boy pedals his bike along a route he knows by heart, his dog runs by his side, both enjoying a world that, before sunrise, belongs only to them.

Bestselling author-illustrator Dav Pilkey celebrates the beauty found in silence and the peace that comes from being with a beloved friend in this Caldecott Honor-winning picture book.

For more acclaimed picture books from Dav Pilkey, check out Dog Breath, The Hallo-Wiener, 'Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving, and Julius (written by Angela Johnson). And don't forget the worldwide bestselling Dog Man and Cat Kid Comic Club graphic novels and Captain Underpants chapter books!
