Read about another entry on the list.Good Dog, Carl, by Alexandra Day
At just 29 years, Carl is by far the youngest entry on this list (though in dog years, he’s practically ancient). Still, it’s impossible to imagine this nearly wordless story of a gentle Rottweiler, a baby girl, and a wildly, possibly criminally inattentive mother won’t endure. Plus, because there is no text, you get to figure out how to explain in your own words that, though the baby survived a drop down the laundry chute with no apparent injuries, it probably isn’t a good idea to try it out.
