Carnesi, Monica. Little Dog Lost: The True Story of a Brave Dog Named Baltic. $15.99. Content: G. PICTURE BOOK. This is a true story of a dog that was rescued after traveling seventy-five miles for two days on the Baltic Sea. This lost dog is found floating on sheets of ice and is finally rescued by the crew of R/V Baltica. It is a heartwarming account of this brave dog’s adventure and the crew members who eventually found him. We liked the story. However, we didn’t like that the author called him “Dog” instead of “the dog” or by his real name, “Baltic”. We realize that he wasn’t named until after his rescue, but calling him “Dog” made the story somewhat impersonal and more difficult to read. The illustrations are unique and exciting. Pre-K. EL (K-3). EL. OPTIONAL. Reviewer: SL.
