Early chapter book, second in a series. ( )

When his human family heads back to school, Poppy the pirate dog is bored and alone. That is, until her family brings home a shipmate for her. The problem is–the shipmate is a kitten, an adventurous bossy kitten who has no respect for Poppy's things. Needless to say, Poppy is upset. But when the kitten gets in trouble it's Poppy to the rescue. This satisfying title will please kids who like their endings happy and tied up in neat little bows, even it if is a bit unrealistic that the cat and dog would become fast friends in one short day.
