Carl's Sleepy Afternoon 40th Anniversary Edition

By Alexandra Day

In Carl's Sleepy Afternoon, Carl's owners leave him to nap, but he ends up making deliveries and joining a magician's act. Carl helps friends and has fun around town, but will he return home before Madeleine and her mom?

Carl the good dog is 40 years old
