Pansy in Venice

In the third and most exotic Pansy tale, the little chocolate poodle and her best friend Avery are summoned to Venice, Italy, to help find a very important parrot. The beautiful bird, Penelope, is the cherished companion of the finest glass-blower in the city–and if he doesn't get her back, he may never make another work of art. Traveling by speed boat, gondola, and their own six feet, Pansy and Avery follow a mysterious trail of ruby-tipped feathers all the way to a fancy costume ball. They solve the mystery, reunite Penelope and the glass-blower, and learn that loneliness can make people do naughty things, but good friends bring out the best in all of us. Third in the 'Pansy the Poodle Mystery Series" of classic children's books, "Pansy in Venice" is perfect for developing reading skills in young emergent readers age 3-7.
