Rated "Good" in our old book database by Rod and Adelia ( )

Carl gathers a group of kids and wanders in a park, encouraging the kids to copy him doing things. Hijinks, but not anything particularly dangerous. ( )

very good - Katrina

In my opinion this is a great book for several reasons. First, The illustrations were some of the best I've seen in a picture book. The vibrant colors really allow the reader to immerse themselves. The characters were another great part of this book. Carl, the dog that the children follow around is a cute and loveable character. All of the children that follow him are also well drawn, and seem like they would be fun for a young reader to be friends with. The big idea of this book was friendship. Throughout the book the gang picks up several friends, and they all have a great time running around town following Carl! ( )

Wordless book told in the point of a child chasing her dog called, Carl. The children in the book are playing follow the leader. The leader throughout the book is carl the dog. The book is funny and silly. Its cute to see the children's faces when they are following the dog. ( )
