I enjoyed many laughter-filled storytimes with early elementary aged bookworms with this book. Older bookworms will laugh out loud at the scenarios that baby and Carl get into: having a dance party, swimming in the fish tank, making a mess in the kitchen. Now moving on, this is a fabulous fantasy story! It is nearly wordless, with text only on the first and last pages. Why It’s Timeless: Unfortunately we live in a world where this book has received negative reviews, condemned as “child neglect.” I suppose I’ll issue a disclaimer here– don’t act this story out. Plot in a Sentence (or two): Mom leaves Carl the rottweiler in charge while she runs an errand baby and Carl enjoy some silly, messy fun before cleaning up just in time for mom’s return. Title/author: Good Dog, Carl by Alexandra Day. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Ever wonder what pet dogs do while their owners are out? How about if a dog were left to babysit? Alexandra Day’s (nearly) wordless fantasy book has some hilarious ideas! And it turns out, a canine who knows how to cover his tracks.Įach Thursday I’ll be featuring a book that my parents *could* have read to me as a child (spoiler alert: I’m no spring chicken), so we will go with a publication date of 1988 or earlier all books must still be in print as of my writing.
