Book one · A picture book by Guy Hirsch
Big mission.
Bigger heart.
Eight missing sled dogs. A snowy mountain. Two best friends who see the world a little differently.
For ages 3–5 · Read together · No-payment reservations
A little courage. A little listening. A very good friend.
Captain Puppers and the Frozen Peak Mystery
Ready for anything.
Almost.
Captain Puppers has a plan. Dubi has a backpack. When a call takes them far north to a Norwegian village, finding the missing dogs will take more than charging ahead.
There are little clues to notice, a quiet child to listen to, and a frightened cub who needs its mother. Luckily, some missions come with a friend.

“Dubi did not ask if Puppers was scared. Instead, he moved beside him.”
“I’m right here.”
A friendship that speaks in small moments.For the grown-ups turning the pages
A story they’ll ask for.
Conversations you’ll value.
01 / LOOK CLOSELYLet your child find the clue.
Let your child be the one who spots what the captain misses. The mystery gives you a natural reason to pause, point and ask: “What do you think happens next?”
02 / MAKE ROOMSmall voices matter.
Mara’s drawing helps the friends move forward. Her part in the adventure makes space to talk about listening to someone who communicates differently—and noticing what a quiet person has to say.
03 / STAY TOGETHERBrave can need a friend.
Even a bold captain can feel afraid. Dubi’s “I’m right here” gives families a simple phrase to borrow when a child needs reassurance, company or help.
A peek inside the adventureThe mountain is big.
Their friendship is bigger.
Expressive characters, a snowy mystery and a friendship worth rooting for—made for sharing one page at a time.

Read. Wonder. Talk.
Before you begin
Look at the cover together. “What would you pack for a snowy rescue?”
In the middle
Let your child predict the next clue. A point, a drawing or a few words all count.
After the adventure
“When did someone help you feel brave?” There’s no right answer—just a moment together.
A fictional read-aloud adventure, not a lesson or a promise of a particular learning outcome.
“Some missions need a captain.
All missions need a friend.”
