There's just a line or two of dialogue at the beginning, and a line at the end. They are designed for reading aloud, and the reader makes up the words that go in between the few written lines. The pictures present a richly detailed story, and as "reader" you narrate the story based on what you see in the pictures. You can tell the tale simply at first, and then embellish it more and more every time you read it. (And you will, believe me, read it many many times.) Your kids may help tell it, too. If you change it a little every time you read it, then it keeps changing. If you read it the same way three times, your kids will insist that it always must be exactly that way.The story in all the books is basically the same. Mother leaves Carl, a huge rotweiler, to mind the baby while Mom does an errand. Instead of staying where they're supposed to, Carl takes the baby on all sorts of wild adventures, and just makes it back in the nick of time to fool mom into thinking that nothing at all happened. Mom never finds out. "Good dog, Carl."This particular one, Carl's Afternoon in the Park, is my favorite of all the books. It is the most beautifully illustrated of them, based on San Diego's lush Balboa Park. And look carefully for the hidden dogs in the illustrations. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ a stroll in the park *by M***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2016* children love these simple to read books. I have some others and it's easy for them to learn to read and the artwork in these books grabs their attention with the vivid colors and a big black dog romping about. I highly recommend all of the books,and the dogs as I've owned 3 over the years. ### ⭐⭐ Not as described *by D***A on Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2019* Not what the description said - the front cover had a tear; pages were worn and the binding was taped. The description was very good condition. This book is not in that condition. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/5433105-carls-afternoon-in-the-park](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/5433105-carls-afternoon-in-the-park) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-25*
