Meet the Delightful New York City Characters of The Central Park Tales

Bedtime stories are a given in our home. While the littlest one still enjoys fun characters and classic fairy tales, the older two are more confined to the stories of their class syllabus. My toddler and I are currently reading the sweet stories of The Central Park Tales before bedtime. The Central Park Tales, written by Marcus Meester is a charming little children's chapter book sharing classic tales about the adventures of the lovable animals that live in New York City's Central Park. 

Let's meet the delightful New York City characters of The Central Park Tales.

Doctor B

Doctor B, short for Doctor Beggar, is Mother Dog's eldest son and Mister Pup's big brother. He's the foodie- loving good food and often planning to sniff some out. 

Mister Pup

Mister Pup is Mother Dog's younger son, also younger brother to Doctor B. Mister B hasn't learned to talk yet (because he always has his ball in his mouth), however, he always manages to make himself understood.

Mother Dog

Mother Dog is genuinely loving and welcoming, with her door always open. Her ability to organize things to go smoothly is sometimes difficult with her sons getting into mischief and all of the unusual things that happening all around her.

The Shy Dog

The Shy Dog comes across Doctor B and Mister Pup one day while in the park. He hid and would not come close to anyone, until he fell into the water and has to accept a helping hand.
