Purchase options and add-ons

A lonely man tries to buy a pillow . . . and ends up with a new best friend in this silly and sweet doggy tale, perfect for fans of Officer Buckle and Gloria.

Dogs make good pillows, don't they?

A clever pup ends up in a cozy home, and she'll do anything to stay there. She impersonates everything the lonely homeowner needs--a pillow, a footstool, a jacket. But in the end, being herself works best. Laura Gehl's spare, humorous text and New Yorker cartoonist Christopher Weyant's expressive characters will leave young readers giggling and begging for more.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 2—Shivering outside The Pillow Place storefront, a dog hatches a plan to find a home. Snuggling among the cushions, the resourceful little dog is purchased and goes home with a customer. Although the pup has all the qualities of a soft and fluffy pillow, she's returned to the store; the man complains that the pillow keeps moving. At the Furniture Barn, the same customer buys a footstool—it's the jaunty pooch again. The footstool is returned, this time, for being too noisy. Readers will root for the dog, anticipating what object the animal will impersonate next to win the man's heart. The final act where a cat works its way into the new family is a delight. Reminiscent of Arthur Howard's Hoodwinked, Gehl's charming story leaves the audience wondering when the lonely man will catch on to the companionship the animals can offer. Weyant's cartoon images, with labels and captions, replace a narrative text. Humorous and lively, the cartoons keep readers in on the joke, but can occasionally feel adult in look and sensibility. VERDICT A sublimely silly tale for pet lovers, suitable for storytimes and one-on-one sharing.—Sarah Webb, City and Country School Library, NY

Review

"A guy walks into a pillow store, and from there, Gehl and Weyant'sstory becomes increasingly silly and delightful...The all-dialogue textand classic New Yorker-style cartooning prove how powerfully funnyrepetition can be." -Publisher's Weekly

"Gehl's tale is slight and wonderfully silly...Little readers will delight in being more sharplytuned to events than the confused gentleman and will gleefully point out the visual clues. A sweet gigglefest." -Kirkus

5.0 out of 5 stars Creative Pet Adoption Method!
Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2021
"My Pillow Keeps Moving" is a book about the creative way a dog and a cat find a new home and get out of the cold. This text in the book splits between page text and words on the signs in the illustrated buildings which I found to be a fun addition. Reading this book puts me in mind of how we came to adopt our oldest cat, Max. Someone had dumped several cats in the neighborhood, but Max decide he wanted in our house. He would sit at our back door looking in and when I went out to scare him away, he would not be deterred. Eventually we capitulated and let him in.

Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2020
Another excellent book from Dr. Laura Gehl. A pup is looking for a home and finds unique ways to find an owner that lead to some hilarious outcomes. The illustrations are funny and capture the heart of the two characters with another fun surprise at the end. Children and adults will laugh throughout following this adorable pup.

5.0 out of 5 stars Original, clever, amusing and heartwarming. A winner.
Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2018
April 2018 - I just checked this book out at my local library and it is my new favorite children's book! (Replacing another great funny book "I am Not a Chair!" by Ross Burach). My Pillow Keeps Moving is original, clever, and amusing. It is full of surprises and in the end, heartwarming. I am a mom of a 4- and a 6-year-old. I was an elementary school teacher and a librarian. We read tons of books and I'm so happy to find a new favorite.

My 5 year old daughter loved this book! She had lots of fun looking for all the silly ways the dog integrated into the man's life, and I especially really loved the illustrations, which reminding me of one of my favorites, Jon Agee--very bold and colorful.
