“In the book named Charley’s First Night, the narrator is Henry Korn and the puppy is Charley. The author of this book is Amy Hest and the illustrator is Helen Oxenbury. Helen uses pencil and watercolor illustrations in the book, which shows softness and warmth. In her illustrations, they show the bond between the boy and the dog. The text and pictures set within boarders show a feeling of intimacy.”

Activity students can do is a character map based on the books read by the author. Students will describe a character of their choice to complete this activity.

For example, the students can use “Charley’s First Night” By Amy Hest and Illustrated by Helen Oxenbury. The students can either do a character chart on Charley or Henry. 

If the students chose Henry, they can write things, such as loving, caring, energetic, and helpful. 

Students will share their character maps to the class.

In fact, when I get about a third of the way through, and I feel I’m on my way, then I’m happy. It’s like reading a good book – you don’t want it to end.” – Helen Oxenbury
