What is The Little House by the Sea about?

After years of neglect, a little house by the sea is home to rabbits, mice, sparrows, sheep and a stray cat. Then fisherman Sam McFinn arrives with his dog, Jock, and begins to make the house his own. But Sam soon discovers that a house feels better when it is shared. Join them on exciting trips to Smuggler’s Island, where they watch seals, seagulls and puffins before exploring a mysterious cave filled with tales of pirates and hidden treasure.
