Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Mice, a rottweiler, an arachnid and a few other assorted critters make sturdy reappearances in five board book versions of picture books. In Ellen Stoll Walsh's Mouse Paint, "three white mice on a white piece of paper" enjoy a colorful romp, while in Walsh's Mouse Count a similar gaggle narrowly escapes being served for dinner (Harcourt/Red Wagon, $6 each, 28p, ages 1-3 ISBN 0-15-200265-0; -200266-9 Sept.). Yet another mouse searches the animal kingdom for companionship?and finds an unexpected respondent?in Eric Carle's Do You Want to Be My Friend? (HarperFestival, $6.95, 32p, ages 2-6, ISBN 0-694-00709-9 Sept.). The rewards of industriousness are celebrated in a second Carle title, The Very Busy Spider; its embossed web brings a tactile dimension to his familiar collage artwork (Philomel, $9.95, 26p, ages 2-up ISBN 0-399-22919-1 Aug.). Finally, the canine in question is Alexandra Day's beloved Carl, who takes charge of a crew of toddlers in Carl Goes to Day Care (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, $5.95, ages 1-3 ISBN 0-374-31145-5 Sept.).

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 1-The lovable Rottweiler returns, this time accompanying his young owner on a visit to a daycare center. When the teacher accidentally gets locked outside, Carl takes charge. His reading skills stand him in good stead as he consults the posted list of planned activities and oversees the children in an atmosphere of controlled chaos. Day juxtaposes the indoor scenes with the imaginative but unsuccessful efforts of the teacher as she tries to get into the building. Carl finally solves that problem, too. Fans of the intelligent canine will enjoy the latest entry in the series, and many preschoolers will recognize familiar details of daycare life.

5.0 out of 5 stars An imaginative adventure., April 4, 1999
By 
cillamarie@aol.com (Los Angeles, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Carl Goes to Daycare (Board book)
My two year old daughter and me thoroughly enjoy reading this book. I find Carl's responsible behavior with the children to be both silly and endearing. My daughter constantly finds a different interpretation to each page of this book with every reading. My child was not afraid in the least. This book is meant to be a thrilling fantasy that every kid (I believe) dreams about. Imagine, a big old loveable dog caring for children while the teacher helplessly watches from the outside. What child has not wished this if only for a second. A marvelous and brilliant execution of the beauty of a child's mind.

5.0 out of 5 stars MS DAY HURRAY, July 27, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Carl Goes to Daycare (Board book)
How Ms Day captures the heroic spirit of a good Rottwilder with so few words and so much beauty certainly makes any and all of her volumes a real treat. Thank you so very much Ms Day for showing the public that Rotties are more than tough guard dogs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!, December 17, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Carl Goes to Daycare (Board book)
My 2 yo loves this book (and the other Carl books we have). He's a bit nervous around real dogs so I saw this book as a way to show him that dogs are fun and not scary. We have to read it every night (at least once) before bed. When I've had enough, he'll "read" it to himself.
