"In this latest adventure, Chato (“cool cat from East L.A.”) and Novio Boy win a cruise for two. But what a vacation—their shipmates are dogs! And then the dogs get sick, and Chato and Novio Boy are sent off in a small boat to find help. Will they keep their promise to assist, despite their encounter with a shipload of partying cats? Colon, speaking with a slight Spanish-laced accent, is perfect as Chato, with Caribbean style steel drum and island background music enhancing the cruise atmosphere." Booklist

Told with the same spirit as Chato y Su Cena, this readalong is just like Chato's party -- not to be missed!
