Another charming lighthouse story! Many young readers will appreciate the excitement of picking out a new puppy as well as the uniqueness that surrounds life at a lighthouse (i.e., taking the rowboat to get to town).
The dog, Molly, is about to be permanently sent away when a storm strikes and she comes to the rescue! This would be great for dog lovers (especially of Newfoundlands). Happy reading!
