Carl is one of the greatest dogs ever. Alexandra Day proves this to be true in Carl's Christmas (1990), another of her wonderful wordless picture books. Carl and baby are on the town Christmas Eve and no one seems to think this is odd. I smiled when the Irish terrier Paddy was on the sidewalk outside a shop as Carl and baby emerge with a Christmas basket. Like Paddy, Carl and baby donate to help the needy. Carl and baby race home to wait for Santa, and sure enough, he shows up! It's another marvelous book from the Carl series.
