Such a sweet and charming little story. Carl takes such good care of his little person. It is reminiscent of when I was a little girl in the 50’s and the neighborhoods were full of kids out Trick or Treating just like in the illustrations. ( )

Once again, a willing suspension of disbelief is required here (what parent leaves a toddler and dog alone in the house on Halloween?), but it's another delightful Carl adventure. This time, Madeleine and her dog dress up, go out trick-or-treating together, and attend a Halloween party, and of course they're home in time so that the girl's mother has no idea they've been gone. Next year, she tells them, they can go trick-or-treating by themselves! Beautiful illustrations, including lots of costumes and decorations. ( )

Carl, a Rottweiler, and his child-caretaker Madeleine go out for trick or treat and attend a Halloween party while mother is away. Vibrant illustrations!! A fun fantasy book for preschoolers! ( )
