Bookroo's summary

While their parents prepare the cabin, Carl the dog and Madeleine sneak away for a day of adventure. From canoeing to berry picking and even a game of baseball, they explore the joys of summer by the lake. As night falls, their secret escapades leave them exhausted, leaving their parents puzzled. What other adventures await this mischievous duo?

From the publisher

Carl and Madeleine are supposed to be napping while Mom and Dad get the summer cabin ready for company, but this lovable canine and his charge have better things to do. They escape from the hammock to do some canoeing, pick blackberries, and enjoy a picnic. Carl even plays a little baseball! That night, Mom and Dad wonder why the two are so tired - little do they know that Carl and Madeleine have been busy exploring all that a summer vacation on the lake has to offer. Told mainly through Alexandra Day’s gorgeous oil paintings, this summertime romp will make readers long to bring Carl along on their own vacations!
