Purchase options and add-ons

Poppy the Pirate Dog is in charge of keeping the treasure safe, so what happens when some jewelry goes missing?

It’s Mom’s birthday, so Tim and Suzy are planning a special pirate show for her. Poppy’s job is to guard the treasure, but while on duty, she hurts her eye and has to go to the vet. Worse yet, she comes home not with a pirate eye patch, but with a big plastic cone around her neck! While the rest of the family searches for Dad’s missing present—a sparkly necklace for Mom—Poppy sulks alone outside. But then Poppy catches sight of something twinkling in the grass. Is this her chance to redeem herself as the best pirate dog ever? This third early reader from Liz Kessler sparkles with warmth, humor, and a dash of pirate gold.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

K-Gr 3—Lovable Poppy is one loyal hero in this latest installment starring the adorable canine. Expressive illustrations in ink and watercolors suit the engaging premise of a Dalmatian trying desperately to help those she loves. When her human family puts on a pirate show, it is Poppy's job to protect the treasure. Though the pup injures her eye and is forced to wear a plastic cone around her neck, she refuses to miss out on all of the action. After the family members realize that the shiny new necklace Dad bought for Mom's birthday is missing, Poppy uncovers this treasure's hidden location and ensures that Mom's party proceeds without a hitch. Illustrations reinforce the action found in the text, while the large font size provides helpful clues for emerging readers. Poppy's thoughts are conveyed through dialogue balloons accentuated over her head. VERDICT Poppy and her endearing family provide a bounty of fun in this latest beginning chapter book.—Meg Smith, Cumberland County Public Library, Fayetteville, NC

5.0 out of 5 stars Positively Perfect Puppy
Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2015
Poppy the Pirate Dog (and the Missing Treasure), is a fun fiction book that is about a family and their dog getting ready for their Mom’s birthday party until one of the presents accidentally becomes hidden treasure. The family works together to try and find the missing present before the party.
Will the family ever find the hidden treasure? To find out, you must read this book!
The chapter book has lots of bright colorful pictures, some mystery, and plenty of Poppy!

My favorite part of this book was the surprise ending. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes pirates, dogs, and mystery. I think both boys and girls, ages 7-12, would enjoy reading this book. I gave it 5 stars because I like pirates and dogs, especially Poppy!

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent chapter book for young readers...
Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2015
I like this book because it offers six short chapters and an easy to manage narrative that a young readers should be able to easily manage. The story should hold the child's attention and the illustrations work nicely with the text. All in all, this is a good book to move your young reader towards more challenging stories. If you are a teacher you'll want a copy or two in the classroom too!
