Description: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE First Edition ◊ First Printing GOOD DOG, CARL WRITTEN & ILLUSTRATED by ALEXANDRA DAY Green Tiger Press ◊ La Jolla - London 1985 “Alexandra Day's modern classic Good Dog Carl has sold more than 200,000 copies, captivating countless readers with the lovable Rottweiler Carl, endearing illustrations, and the tale's surprising silliness. The book begins with the mother saying, "Look after the baby, Carl. I'll be back shortly." Let the adventure begin! Carl looks out the window to make sure Mom is gone. Once the coast is clear, the baby crawls out of the crib and onto Carl's back. First stop? Mom's bed. Second stop? The top of the dresser where powder puffs are sported as hats. The infant--now in Carl's capable paws--slides down the laundry chute, swims in the fish tank, dances, raids the refrigerator, and makes a huge mess. Carl dutifully bathes the baby, cleans up the chaos, puts his charge back in the crib, and plays it cool when Mom comes home. "Good dog, Carl!" she says upon her return. A sweet, subtly absurd picture book that jubilantly illustrates the old adage, "When the cat's away, the mice will play." (Picture book)” This copy is a first edition, first printing published by the Green Tiger Press in 1985 as shown on the copyright page. It is a pictorially illustrated hardcover book with a very small unobtrusive dent in the side of the rear board. The pages are clear and bright with no wrinkles, tears or ink marks. It is in never-read condition. It is an irresistibly charming book.
