Overview
When Trim trips over a napping dog, little does he know that soon heāll set sail and begin learning how to be a shipās cat. Among his first lessons: the parts of the ship (the front is called the bow, like ābow wowā), the dynamics among his new colleagues (Jack the shipās parrot is not so easy to befriend), and basic skills like climbing (up is easier than down) and swimming. With the assistance of Captain Flinders, Penny the shipās dog, and Will the shipās artist, Trim learns new skills, tests his limits and abilities, and finds a way to contribute to life onboard.
This delightful early reader series by acclaimed author Deborah Hopkinson is inspired by the true story of Trim, often called the most famous shipās cat in history. Owned by British explorer Matthew Flinders, Trim traveled on the HMS Investigator on the first expedition to circumnavigate Australia (1801ā1803).
