Fictional ingenuity turns this simple premise, this small boat, and a tiny array of vocab... into delightful little stories for early readers.
Aboard a small raft, with a tiny washtub for furniture, Pup and Hound climb aboard and begin their seafaring.
Suddenly the pair of dogs become Pirate Pup and crew. While Pup serves as captain, the cute little puppy called "Hound" mainly tries not to slip. Uh-oh. There's rough water ahead.
As for the perfect "treasure" at the end of the tale, yes! No spoiler from me, but I can see how the dogs will enjoy that.
Altogether this is a tender, right-sized adventure for early readers -- truly a FIVE STAR adventure.

The stories in the Pup and Hound series by Susan Hood and Linda Hendry are fun for beginning readers. This is a humorous tale of a pirate adventure on the "high seas" for Pup and Hound. Our youngest is very proud that she can read these books all by herself.
