Carl's Summer Vacation

(2) PS At the family's cabin, Rottweiler Carl and his charge Madeleine are supposed to be taking a nap. Instead, they go canoeing, visit a playground, and surreptitiously feast on somebody else's picnic. Lush but decorous watercolors provide sober-sided counterpoint to the mischief being wreaked. The text is minimal; Day knows just how to make a story move through pictures alone.
