Synopsis
On a cold winter day, a curious dog wandered onto a frozen river, and before he knew it he was traveling fast on a sheet of ice. Many people tried to help, but the dog could not be reached. Finally, after two nights and seventy-five miles, the little dog was saved by a ship out in the Baltic Sea.
The gallant rescue of the little dog nicknamed Baltic made international news. Mônica Carnesi's simple text and charming watercolor illustrations convey all the drama of Baltic's journey. His story, with its happy ending, will warm readers' hearts. An author's note and map are included.

About the Author
Mônica Carnesi (www.monicacarnesi.com) is an artist and librarian, which allows her to combine her love for illustration and passion for children's literature. An NPR story of the dog nicknamed "Baltic" inspired her to share his story with young readers. Originally from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Mônica now lives in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with her husband and her own little dog.
Review
"The story is told simply and charmingly. The author's use of the present tense gives the narrative immediacy, and with very brief sentences, some dialogue and questions posed to readers, Carnesi imbues the tale with a strong sense of drama that will captivate young listeners." -- Kirkus Reviews
"The artwork's perspective continually shifts, giving the tale a cinematic frame-by-frame quality...The book's small trim size complements the cozy, feel-good conclusion." -- Publishers Weekly
"An edge-of-your-seat adventure story, based on a true story, for the very young -- with a text that also works beautifully as a beginning reader for older children." -- Horn Book (starred)
"In this debut, Carnesi conveys the immensity of the scenery as well as the intimacy of the dog's tale." -- The New York Times
"With its gripping plot and simple text, this has natural early reader possibilities as well as readaloud merits."-- BCCB (starred)
"The book presents a clear problem and gratifying solution in simple, engaging language coupled with appealing watercolor and pen-and-ink illustrations; it is an excellent choice for read-alouds." -- School Library Journal
