PICTURE BOOK
What a perfect book for summer! Carl, the lovable Rottweiler and Madeleine, the adorable toddler are back in another wonderful story. It's summertime and the family has gone to camp. Mom recommends that Carl and Madeleine take a nice nap in the hammock so they will be rested for that night's fireworks. But, that doesn't happen! There are too many adventures to be had on vacation - canoeing on the lake, berry picking, and playing at the park. Later that evening, Mom can't understand why these two are so tired after such a long "nap!" The illustrations are delightful, showing the joy and wonder of summertime fun. They convey a dreamlike atmosphere, which allows the reader to get a sense of the lazy days of summer. Carl is a protective dog, allowing Madeleine to ride around on him as they explore. This is a perfect summertime read and it will definitely get you in the mood for a little vacation.
