Peter Meisel

What happens when a shipyard dog gets washed out to sea. When Spike is rescued by pirates after a couple of days floating around in a bucket full of garbage, he smells terrible. To earn his keep on the pirate ship he tells them he can sniff out treasure. What happens when Spike sniffs out everything but treasure. Sail away with Spike and Captain Fishbeard on this fun adventure. This is another great entry into the early chapter books, this one probably geared towards boys, especially reluctant readers. They will love some of the disgusting smells that Stinky Spike comes across. The illustrations are wonderful. They fit the story perfectly and again are just gross enough for little boys to love them. I recommend this book to public, school and class libraries. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book via Netgalley.… (altro)
