When we last peeked in at model of manners
and dapper dresser Mister Dash, the mixed breed pooch
was saving Madame Croissant's rambunctious granddaughter
Daphne from a Radio Flyer accident in Merci Mister
Dash! Happily there's a brand new Mister Dash adventure
on shelves and it involves tantalizing cupcakes, the spirited
but troublesome Daphne, more Dash heroics, and heaping
servings of charm and laughter.
Jauntily gorgeous illustrations by Esperança
Melo are the perfect match for Monica
Kulling's (author of Lumpito and the Painter from
Spain and Tundra's award-winning Great Idea series)
warmly dynamic story. The delightful combination is bound
to make Mister Dash and the Cupcake Calamity a
favourite with youngsters.
Kulling has a winning hero in the fastidious
but loyal Dash, who plays delivery dog for Madame Croissant's
bakery business even as he feels foolish in the baker's
hat, and I hope we have many more Mister Dash adventures
to look forward to.
