Bloomsbury presents Perla and the Pirate by Isabel Allende, read by Daisy Guevera

Get ready to meet Perla – the feisty, magical rescue dog who will steal your heart!

From #1 international bestselling author Isabel Allende and award-winning illustrator Sandy Rodriguez comes another irresistible picture book about Perla, the Mighty Dog, and the family who love her!

Perla is a small dog with a BIG personality and a very impressive roar. Her best friend is seven-year-old Nico Rico. But when Nico goes missing after school one day, it’s up to Perla - and The Pirate who lives next door - to find Nico and bring him home safely.

Can Perla save the day once again?

The adorable follow-up to Perla: The Mighty Dog.

Critics Review

In this howlarious sequel to celebrated novelist Allende’s picture book Perla the Mighty Dog (2024), a superheroic pup comes to the rescue again. . . Rodríguez’s bright watercolor-and-ink illustrations once more complement this narrative’s cheerful disposition perfectly… Another woof-worthy adventure.

Kirkus Reviews

A charming tale about a special dog that will entertain readers. . . Perla is effervescent in both editions. This is a great text to use in classrooms for teaching reading skills like cause and effect, problem and solution, and inference and characterization. . . Include these in story time collections and picture book shelves.
