Meet Gidget, a small but mighty pug who overcame a life-threatening
illness to become a world-champion surfing dog. Her story is told with
beautiful, eye-catching photography that features adorable canines on
and in the water.
This is the inspiring true story of Gidget, a world-champion surfing
pug, who grew from a hyperactive handful of a pup to a poised and
impressive surfer whose efforts are devoted to charity.
As she and her owner Alecia find their way through challenges including
a life-threatening illness, Gidget's story becomes not only about a dog
learning to surf and compete in dog surfing competitions but also about
making the most of the life you are given and giving back to your
community.
Gidget the Surfing Dog is filled with fun and informative science
sidebars that help kids understand how waves are formed, how to identify
different types of waves, and other aspects of the science of surfing.
The book also covers the problem of trash in the ocean--an issue that
Gidget and Alecia work together to address.
