Working as a builder's mate high on the church roof, keeping an eye out for your master and on the rest of the townsfolk, taking part in a dramatic rescue at sea - why, it's all in a day's work. And at the end of it? Sausages, perhaps, for tea...

Book Description

From Booklist
PreS-Gr. 2. Foreman's real-life knowledge of a tiny fishing village (he grew up in one in Suffolk) underscores this exciting story. Having accompanied his master to work on the church rooftop, a dog describes the village below, which is perched on the edge of the sea. Suddenly, the dog sees everyone run to the harbor. A distress rocket has gone off. The dog joins the running crowd, describing the village's lifeboat as it goes out to rescue a sinking sailboat and the dog's own efforts to rescue another dog struggling in the waves. Foreman's watercolors give a dog's-eye view of both the heroics and of the aftermath, when the village is quiet once more. This is filled with the kind of machinery and action that fascinate some children. Connie Fletcher

This review is from: Saving Sinbad! (Hardcover)
Written and illustrated by Michael Foreman, Saving Sinbad! is a truly enchanting children's picture book about life in an English fishing village, as told from a humble dog's point of view.
