Bookroo's summary

Left with a babysitter, Madeleine and her trusty Rottweiler, Carl, embark on a secret snowy escapade. They sled, build snowmen, and even crash the Pond Party, all while ensuring they're back before anyone notices. Will their winter mischief go undetected, or will the babysitter catch on to their frosty fun?

From the publisher

When Madeleine’s parents go to the Pond Party, they leave Carl and the baby at home for a cozy winter afternoon with a babysitter. 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. Of course, resourceful Carl gets the baby home before her parents return–and the babysitter is never the wiser. Everyone’s favorite Rottweiler appears here in a wintertime romp.
