Carl's Birthday
PreSchool-Grade 2?This nearly wordless picture book continues the fantasy of the renowned Rottweiler and his wee ward. The lovable dog and his toddler mistress sneak back home from a neighbor's house, where Madeleine's mother is preparing a birthday party for Carl. From hidden vantage points they check on or assist with preparations for the festivities. The clandestine pair escape to their rightful place, taking a nap together just in time to put on party attire and return home to be greeted by guests yelling "Surprise!" Party scenes contrast brightly with everyday life in another winner for Carl's fans.?Marsha McGrath, Clearwater Public Library, FLCopyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to theHardcoveredition.
