Synopsis
Join Carl, the gentle rottweiler, and Madeleine, the mischievous toddler, as they sneak home through Carl's doggie door to watch Mom prepare a surprise party.
School Library Journal
PreS-Gr 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, FL
