Pig Flora is on a boat headed to the South Pole, where she knows she'll find adventure (never mind that Amos the sailor refers to her as his "little ham bone"). Like all good animal adventure stories, this one has a richly drawn cast; dedicated sled dog Oscar will move readers to tears. Thirty-eight fast-paced chapters make this perfect for reading aloud.
