One small kitten learns about the great big world as he sets sail with his fellow shipmates, animal and human, in this historical fiction intermediate reader. Trim likes being part of the ship's crew. The captain says that everyone has a jobs they do alone and other times they help each other out. And if there's a big problem, then it's all hands on deck. But what is Trim's job? He really wants to help, but everyone is very busy. Penny is helping the sailors mop the deck, so Trim decides to mop too. Swish! Swish! SWISH! Trim gets water everywhere. Jack is helping the captain steer the ship, so Trim thinks he can steer too. Whee! Whee! WHEE! But there's not enough room on the wheel. Doesn't anyone have a job for a kitten who really wants to help?Review Quotes
"Kristy Caldwell's distinctly non-old-timey illustrations emphasize the slapstick elements of Ms. Hopkinson's stories."--The Wall Street Journal "Hopkinson reminds readers that setting out on an adventure with good friends is the best way to experience our wondrous world. Recommended for chapter book collections."--School Library Journal "Cartoon-style line and color illustrations faithfully depict a 19th-century ship and a cat's hilarious antics. . . More seaworthy fun with this endearing feline hero."--Kirkus Reviews
