“Marjorie Burns’s wry, witty, heart-tugging transformation of stuffed dogs into real dogs recruited to defend children’s dreams is both wildly imaginative and down-to-earth funny.”

“Thoroughly delightful story brimming with cozy friendships and otherworldly thrills—seen through the eyes of acharming pack of stouthearted dogs.”
Erin Britton
“A magical tale in which stuffed animals become real and work to protect vulnerable children from nightmares. Burns’ The New Cadets is a tender and warm-hearted story that should engage both youngsters and those who read to/with them. . . . . Moreover, The New Cadets features charming black and white illustrations by Carolyn Wilhelm.”
Mary Henie
“This imaginative book written by Marjorie Burns is geared to children, but it will delight dog lovers of all ages. . . . The interactions between [the dogs] are sometimes funny, sometimes embarrassing, but always endearing. The illustrations by Carolyn Wilhelm are wonderful.”
