The Adventurous Life of a Cape Cod Dog: A Curious Canine's Exploration of the Cape's Natural History

by Nancy Scaglione-Peck, Jenny Kelley (Illustrations)

The Adventurous Life of a Cape Cod Dog allows the reader to experience Cape Cod's beautiful landscape, ocean, and animals through the eyes of a local dog. While Shelby serves as a host at his family's bed & breakfast, he shares his exciting life on the Cape with his readers. He teaches them about the land and sea, and their inhabitants. With this smart canine, readers study marine mammals on a whale watch, sail an old wooden schooner, camp in the dunes to understand the plight of the piping plover, and kayak an estuary to witness the comeback of the osprey. Through this dog's escapades, children will be entertained and educated. This story also has much to offer adults who love dogs and nature.

Quick read about Shelby, the Golden Retriever/Chow mix, who lives on Cape Cod with his two teacher parents. This book is a delightful read about Shelby's antics and her love for the Cape and her wonderful mother and father, who take such wonderful care of her. I read this right on the beach in one afternoon. Anyone from teenager to adult would love this book.
