From the Publisher:
Bored being at home with the babysitter while her parents are away at a party, Madeleine decides to have some fun of her own with her best pal, Carl the dog, by her side, venturing outside where they sled down a hill, build a snowman and slide on ice before returning home just in the nick of time! When Madeleine's parents go to the Pond Party, they leave Carl and the baby at home for a cozy winter afternoon with a babysitter. But Carl and Madeleine have plans of their own- they want to play in the snow! After getting all bundled up, they sneak off to go sledding, build a snowman, and even make an appearance at the party and try sliding on the ice at the pond. Of course, resourceful Carl gets the baby home before her parents return-and the babysitter is never the wiser. Everyone's favorite Rottweiler appears here in a wintertime romp. |
Annotation:
Carl the Rottweiler makes a much better babysitter than the one Madeleine's parents have hired so they can go out and enjoy the Pond Party. He spirits the little girl out of the house for some adventures in the snow, pond play, and even a few hot dogs. Accompanied by spirited watercolors, other books in the series include CARL'S AFTERNOON IN THE PARK and CARL GOES SHOPPING.

Author Bio

She uses her own Rottweiler as a model for Carl, just as her Irish Terrier posed for the character of Paddy as featured in PADDY'S PAY-DAY. She is also well-known for her books about friends Frank and Ernest, a bear and an elephant.
Praise
"The realistic illustrations are charming, warm, and very funny, particularly the one of Carl sliding on the ice."
