Review

Poppy is a Dalmatian and is part of setting up a pirate ship, losing some treasure and a tortoise, and then finding everything. The plot sounds simple and it is, but it is also lovely. Young readers will feel for Poppy when she gets a sore eye and has to wear a dog cone. They will also cheer for her when she helps rescue the lost tortoise and missing necklace. The drawings are perfect and add to the story. Young readers that like a fun, sweet story will thoroughly enjoy this one.

Overall Book Score: very good
