Book Reviews of Carl's Afternoon in the Park
Book Review: A Nice Wordless Fantasy for Toddlers
Summary: 4 Stars
A very nicely illustrated wordless book (one of a series) about a dog named Carl who accompanies a baby to the park with a puppy and the child's mother. There the mother leaves the dog to take care of the baby and puppy. They engage in all the quintessentially enjoyable activities for children: ride on a train, eat ice cream, play on a playground, visit a petting zoo, look through binoculars, and so on. The adventures are engagingly portrayed in wordless format, with gentle and child-level humor, and children will enjoy identifying with the baby who is accompanied by this eminently responsible pet. The baby looks like a boy but is dressed in pink, allowing adults a bit of interpretive license in determining the baby's identity. At the board book age a wordless book does require additional effort for the parent who interprets the images, but the detail of this book, as well as the inviting content, makes it worth the effort.
