Illustrated by
Amy L. Young.
Two dog friends abandon their work as book writer and illustrator to venture to Ice Cream Island. The feline ferry operators won't admit dogs, so the two canines rent a sailboat. A storm tests their courage, but their determination doesn't waiver. Though the premise for the story is odd, the dogs are endearing and the playful illustrations are amusing.
