    • Classic toddler book
My children loved Carl board books when they were younger. Now my grandchildren are enjoying them. I love the fact that there’s no words on the page. The children can “read” the books over and over creating a new story each time. It encourages their creativity while fostering story books for young children. ... show more

    • Buy this book for toddlers!
Good Dog Carl is a great book for a pre-reader. Other than the first and last pages, there are no words but the pictures of Carl doing his job are just wonderful. The child can tell the story to an adult by following describing the pictures of Carl and the baby's adventures. Both my kids loved Good Dog Carl, and their children do too! ... show more

    • Delightful for children and Rottweiler-lovers alike
As the owner of a Rottweiler who is every bit as sweet and patient, though perhaps not as good a babysitter, as Carl, I've loved Alexandra Day's books for years. We buy copies for every kid in our circle, and they are always a hit. The illustrations are beautiful and the lack of text (most of the books include no more than a few sentences, and have many pages with no text at all) allows the reader and child to make up their own stories for the pictures, which kids often enjoy. Personally, I far prefer that to reading the same text over and over and over as often happens with a beloved children's book. The basic plot of each book is the same- Carl the rottie is left in charge of the baby (and in later books, child) and baby and dog have a series of (mis)adventures, but everything comes out well in the end due to Carl's dedication. The detailed, lush illustrations give ample material for making up stories about their activities and most kids are tickled by the sight of a baby and dog doing all sorts of things that in real life they would never get to do alone (going to shops, out for walks, etc). Disclaimer: Yes, leaving your child alone with a dog is a terrible idea and no one should ever do it in real life. But these are gentle fantasy books, and a far better representation of the temperament of the average gentle giant Rottweiler than most pop cultural references. This first book in the series, Good Dog Carl, does feature some elements that might be inappropriate for a very young toddler who is prone to imitation- climbing on the dog, playing in a fishtank, etc. That said, for a child who is old enough to understand "We don't ride the dog", it's fine, and the later books in the series are much more clearly fantastical- your child probably won't try to attend a dog show alone with the dog just because they saw it in a book. ... show more

    • A little crazy, but a funny, mostly wordless book
The pictures of a dog caring for an infant (left to the pet's care by the baby's mother!!!!!) were funny and will likely be enjoyed by babies, and by their parents. There are only a few words, spoken by the mother, and the rest of the book is wordless as the dog gives the baby a day of great fun, before tucking baby in for a nap just when Mom arrives home. ... show more

    • A must!
Every child needs this book. Both boys and girls enjoy it. It appeals to toddlers as well as early elementary school age. Parents won’t get tired of it, either. Perfect gift!
