![]() ![]() ![]() In Mister Dash and the Cupcake Calamity (Tundra, 2013) Mister Dash, alas, is required to help out when Madam Croissant’s 500 cupcakes, freshly baked with the messy but enthusiastic “assistance” of Daphne, are in danger of not reaching their destination intact. And of course the gallant Mister Dash steps up, racing to the rescue to save Daphne from danger. Too well-mannered to refuse, Mister Dash endures, bow tie in place, until one Sunday, more is required. ![]() That’s when Daphne, an extraordinarily loud and active young girl, takes over the house, spending the day with her grandmother, gift-shop owner Madam Croissant, but also requiring Mister Dash to be her playmate. Mister Dash, a rather fastidious pooch who wears a vest and eats his popcorn one kernel at a time, does not look forward to Sundays. Merci Mister Dash! (Tundra, 2011) is a rollicking picture book story that hooks us right from the first page. ![]()
