John Segal's charming tale starts with a bored and bossy Alistair, a cat, who convinces tentative Kip, a dog, to make a boat with him so they can set off on an adventure across the sea. Segal's watercolor illustrations perfectly reflect the character's emotions, build the suspenseful plot, and emphasize the grander of the ocean that surrounds the tiny dog and cat. A wonderful story about adventure, friendship, and the great blue ocean; this book will make your child laugh, gasp, and laugh again.
