Captain Pug

Shortlisted for the Waterstones Children's Book Prize

Mmmmmmmmmm

Pug’s tummy was rumbling. Wendy had baked them some of her delicious jam tarts. Jam tarts were Pug’s favourite breakfast

It begins as just as ordinary day at No. 10 The Crescent where Lady Miranda and her faithful companion pug live.

It’s not long though, before plans are afoot.

Pug is going on a seafaring adventure. He's had jam tarts for breakfast. He's wearing a smart sailor suit.

There's just one problem. Pug is afraid of the water!

Captain Pug is the first book in a glorious new illustrated series for fans of Claude and Squishy McFluff.

"Captain Pug ... is another great new book for those who are ready for something meatier than a picture book." — Irish Independent

Laura James’s love of all things nautical comes from her father, a retired naval officer although her eponymous hero, Pug, is based on her own very silly dog, Brian. Captain Pug is the first in a series of pug adventure stories, with the second, Cowboy Pug, published in 2017.
