But Carl and Madeleine have plans of their own-- they want to play in the snow! After getting all bundled up, they sneak off to go sledding, build a snowman, and even make an appearance at the party and try sliding on the ice at the pond.

Thanks to Madeleine's innocently oblivious parents and TV-fixated babysitter, Carl and Madeleine spend an unsupervised day making a snowman, sledding, exploring a frozen pond and liberating a few hot dogs. It's all told through Alexandra Day's lush paintings and just a few words." --<i>USA Today</i> <p/>"A decidedly warm adventure." --<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/>"Day's signature paintings invite children into a cheerful, bucolic, snowy setting." --<i>Booklist</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Alexandra Day</b> is the author and illustrator of <i>Good Dog, Carl</i> and the rest of the beloved Carl books, including <i>Carl Goes Shopping</i>, <i>Carl's Christmas</i>, <i>Carl's Birthday</i> and <i>Carl's Snowy Afternoon</i>. The Darlings' own dog, a Rottweiler named Toby, was the original model for the main character of <i>Good Dog, Carl</i>. Since then, two other Darling Rottweilers have posed as Carl in the sequels: the late Arambarri, who was named for one of the Darlings' favorite jai alai players; and Zabala, who currently moonlights as an Our Best Friend therapy dog, visiting hospitals to cheer patients.
