Illustrated by
Michael Chesworth.
When pirates capture Fluffy, a "pampered poodle," they laugh at his fancy clothes and silly name. Determined not to be thrown overboard, Fluffy outwits the captain, takes over the ship, and teaches the pirates that they can get much better loot by being "cute" than by being fierce. Lively watercolor and colored-pencil illustrations enhance this original tale told in snappy rhyme.
