Yo, parents and kids, listen up – Good Boy Lukey & the Dream Crumbs is like a magical dream come true. Imagine this: there's this adorable puppy named Lukey who's like a superhero for your dreams. He sneaks around while you're asleep and leaves these dream crumbs that zap away all the bad stuff. I mean, how cool is that?

Linda Beck totally nails it with this book. It's not just a story, it's like a cozy hug before bedtime. The illustrations are so colorful and fun, they'll keep you hooked from page one. And that idea of a puppy protector? Genius!

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.

This story is based on an idea that is kind of cute - that Lukey the pup scatters "dream crumbs" at night, to help children sleep safely.

While they sleep, Lukey is always protecting them, and ensuring that they wake up happy each morning.

The illustrations are cute, but the rhyming text could do with some polishing. Since there isn't much of a story as such here, the rhythm and meter of the text becomes much more important. This is a common problem with children's stories, but with a little more effort, or better editing, this could have been so much nicer.
