Flawless collector’s copy. “Take good care of the baby,” Mom says to her faithful babysitting Rottweiler, Carl. But what does Carl do? Take the baby and follow Mom and Dad to the lavish masquerade party, where everybody thinks they’re just another pair of costumed revelers. This allows them to get up to all kinds of pranks before racing the parents home, who end up none the wiser. Carl’s Masquerade is the fifth in Alexandra Day’s long-running series of almost-wordless children’s books about the faithful dog and the child in his care, where the lush watercolor illustrations, also by Day, tell the story. Publisher’s Weekly said, “[Day] tops herself by producing her most atmospheric book yet….” A great way to “read” with children and encourage their imaginations, but this new first edition copy may perhaps be best as a gift to a childen’s book collector.
