  • his boat life is described as well as a brief shipwreck
  • story somewhat choppy and empty
    (though clean language)
  • illustrations are wonderful

Illustrator: Garth Williams

This book isn’t for everyone. How do I know that? Because it wasn’t my favorite yet is so highly reviewed. Ha!

Honestly, do try it out for any littles who love dogs, sailing or gentle adventures. The artwork is colorful (and the best part of the book), and I know a lot of children love the story.
