An adventure away from home is something so special for a curious puppy that it causes Splinter to explore beyond the worn cedar fence that keeps her safe inside her yard. 

Splinter eagerly listens to the interesting noises and voices coming from the other side of the tall fence that surrounds her home. The puppy sniffs around to find a way out and bravely takes the first steps to an entirely different world, one filled with sights, sounds and smells that she never knew existed. 

This enchanting children’s book recounts Splinter’s two-day adventure meeting farm animals and other creatures. And although she discovers there’s a whole new world outside her gates, she also realizes that there’s no place like home!
