Dog Shopping

From School Library JournalPreSchool– In this sequel to Good Dog, Carl (Green Tiger, 1985), that mischievious rottweiler Carl is told to “take good care of baby” while the mother shops for curtains. Of course, a section store offers too much adventure for Carl and baby to stay in one place, so with baby riding “doggy back,” the two start out their playful traveling through respective departments–toys, electronics, home interiors, food, and pets–before Carl delivers baby back to her buggy moments before the unsuspecting mother’s return. The idea of a dog and child enjoying an uninhibited romp through a division store surely has child appeal; however, this almost wordless picture book has an adult perspective. Day’s detailed, rich-toned paintings are well executed and tell the story, but the style is too sophisticated for very young children to appreciate. Grasping the illustrations’ subtle humor depends on the capacity to read and comprehend the store signs. Although seemingly an infant/toddler book, this one is more for Mom and Dad than Junior. –Heide Piehler, Shorewood Public Library, WI

Charming Carl the Babysitting Rotty
By labegude
Good dog Rottweiler, Carl,is left besides the escalator in charge of the baby and pram, while Mother shops. Carl and Baby determine to have an adventure. With Baby riding carl like a horse, they tour the section store attempting things on and genarally creating mayhem until Carl senses it is time to get back to the pram. Mother arrives back at the pram totally incognizant the sleeping baby has been out and with regards to and getting into mischief with Carl…..as always Carl will never tell.

If you have a Rottweiler in your life you will be in particular disposed to admire the Carl series by Alexandra Day. Her art is extraordinary and worthy of framing and you genuinely do not need any text at all because the pages are so self explanatory and well done. I like the way the pictures arouse a less complicated time and remind us of the 1930′s or 40′s. The stories are charming and sweet and Carl the Dog is a loveable lummox who deftly manages baby and keeps them both out of trouble. Unfortunately, Rottweilers get a bad rap when they are in truth, the most loyal and attentive family dogs. Rottweilers are fantasti with children and will always protect a child.

I am giving my son and his wife the entire series as gifts because they staged me with a Rottweiler GrandDog 6 years ago. These lovable and childlike books are tomorrow’s collectables you may buy, keep and read.

Baby loved it!

I gave this to a friend’s granddaughter. The little girl was uninterested in books until she received “Carl Goes Shopping” – now she can’t get enough!
