Captain Mouse faces "big waves and watery perils" on her adventure-filled sailing expedition to visit her brother. Luckily, friends Frog and Dragonfly are ready to answer her post-shipwreck cries for help. In a mainly seafoam and blue palette, the illustrations zoom in on the captain and her walnut-shell boat, before the wider perspective of the final spread reveals the humorously puddle-size "sea."
