Walter the baker-and sea dog-is back for another adventure. His old friend Big Boris is in trouble and hiding from angry villagers. They think he sank one of the village fishing boats. But with help from a merpup named Mira, Walter is able to steer villagers to the real culprit-the sea dragon-and clear Boris's name.

Filled with boats (and sea dogs) from all over the world and told in whimsical rhyme, children will discover vessels from air boats to rafts and coracles to schooners.

The friends journey is filled with twists and turns, including a capsized boat, as they roam far from home until they make a surprising-- and giant discovery!

Walter longs to be a sea dog. He comes from a long line of sea dogs, all of whom made their livelihoods from the sea, but, alas, Walter's talent seems to extend only to baking.

But Walter's life is upended when an unfortunate incident brings him face to face with Big Boris and the Sea King. In the end Walter learns important lessons about perseverance and finds his place as a true sea dog.

When Hector Fox and his friends receive a plea for help from the Guardians of the Stone Tower, they race off to save them from the dreaded Raven's Revenge. Will they make it in time?
