Herbert: The True Story of a Brave Sea Dog

40 pp. | Candlewick | April, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-4741-4 $15.99
(3) K-3 This picture book tells the against-all-odds story of a dog lost at sea off the coast of New Zealand in 1986. Watercolor illustrations in seaside shades of greens, grays, and blues and sketchily outlined in pencil accompany the accessible text, which conveys first sadness then exhilaration as the story unfolds. Endpaper photographs, letters, and news articles bring the story to life.
