An adventure story for children who
love the water.
Two children and their dog find a scruffy little boat which talks, at Shalfleet
on the Isle of Wight. Captain Jo, a retired sea
captain, shows the children how to make Chit Chat ready to go to sea at Newtown
Creek.
This is a charming little book which can be safely read to young children.
