Book Guide

Mr. Small has a little sail boat of his own, and here is the story of a day when he and his dog Tinker go fishing. It turns out to be a happy and adventurous day for the two of them.

This is a story for small children who like the sea and like little boats; and is one they can read for themselves and follow in the lively pictures which supplement the simple text.
