“Good pacing and appealing artwork. . . . Engaging fare for young readers.” —Booklist
Poppy the dalmatian can’t wait to go on a seaside vacation with her family; she thinks it will be fun to be a pirate dog. But she’s afraid of boats! After trying—and failing—to be brave on a fishing boat, a seal-spotting cruise, a pedal boat, and a speedboat, Poppy has almost given up. Will she manage to find her pirate ship before the family heads back home? From New York Times best-selling author Liz Kessler comes a full-color early reader for adventurous young scalawags and their pirate pooches.
