Lady Miranda has appointed Pug to be captain for her birthday party at the boating lake. Pug is a little worried though; despite his smart nautical outfit he is very scared of water! The party quickly becomes a rollicking adventure for Pug who travels by picnic basket, bus and boat, making new friends and enjoying many delicious snacks! Big text and bright, lively illustrations make Captain Pug a fun family read-aloud and a perfect book for readers who are just starting to enjoy chapter books independently, especially if they love extraordinarily cute dogs with curly tails, big eyes and even bigger stomachs!
