Abby's River Adventure (Hardcover)

In the family swimming pool, nine-year-old Sofia and her chatty best friend, a rabbit named Abby, pretend to be pirates in search of lost treasure: a necklace belonging to Sofia's mother. Their imagination carries them and their ship, The Wild Strawberry, into deep waters. While on their adventure as Captain and Matey, they meet all kinds of critters that play a role in their quest for the necklace--a gentle manatee, a large chatty bird, a rat swim team, and even a hungry alligator that threatens to beat them to the treasure. The playful pirates steer their way through rough waters and danger to find the treasure and return it to Sofia's mother. Through the power of a young girl's imagination, child's play is transformed into a rollicking high-seas adventure. Abby's River Adventure is the first in a series of chapter books that keep Sofia and Abby hopping.
