“Take good care of the baby, Carl.” Mother knows she can trust Carl, a large and lovable Rottweiler, to watch over baby Madeleine. What she doesn’t know is that the minute she’s gone, Carl and the baby gallop off on adventures. In this collection of six of Alexandra Day’s popular Carl stories, Carl and the baby explore a department store, a park, and even a masquerade ball—and always make it back before Mother knows they’re gone. Carl and Madeleine’s joyful romps, told mainly through lush, wordless spreads, are gathered together here for the first time, and will delight children and all those who take care of them. You’re a Good Dog, Carl: “The responsible Rottweiler is back in a deluxe omnibus . . . Admirers can enjoy Alexandra Day’s nearly wordless text and lush oil paintings . . .”—Publishers Weekly “Each of Day’s colorful illustrations projects a lively activity, and each is filled with delightful humor. The detailed and realistic illustrations can be looked at again and again, and something new is seen each time . . . This deluxe edition would be a wonderful holiday gift for any child or dog-lover, especially one who is partial to Rottweilers. You might want to get two—keep one for yourself.”—Armchair Interviews Carl Goes Shopping: “Carl and baby go browsing . . . in and out of mischief. Well done.”—The New York Times Carl’s Masquerade: “Settings are sumptuously evoked, fully peopled and lushly colored . . . everybody’s fantasy fiesta.”—Publishers Weekly, Starred Review Carl’s Afternoon in the Park: “The illustrations, in lustrous oils, are a handsome counterpoint to the whimsy of the narratives.”—People Magazine Carl Goes to Daycare: “Another charmer.”—Kirkus Reviews Carl’s Birthday: “Party scenes contrast brightly with everyday life in [this] winner.”—School Library Journal Follow Carl!: “[Day’s] knowledge and love of dogs and children, compounded by her keen imaginings of what they would enjoy doing together, bring joy to her playful depictions.”—Booklist |
