Carl must be the most patient and good-natured Rottweiler ever. Throughout the series of Good Dog, Carl picture books (though they don’t all include that exact phrase in their titles), Carl winds up caring for young Madeleine while her mother is away, becoming a full-bore nanny (though we’re never sure how much the mother realizes this), keeping her fed and safe from impending disasters and putting up with indignities like being ridden like a horse and being forced to wear birthday hats. In this book, toddler Madeleine goes to visit her local daycare center, where the children are just a little bit older than her, and inadvertently locks the teacher outside. Like the other books, there are virtually no words, only an introductory and closing sentence, and Day lets her watercolors and the reader’s (and listener’s) imaginations tell the story. Though it’s a perfect book for bedtime reading, you may want to keep this copy away from sticky fingers—it’s pristine new first edition, a flawless collector's copy.
