Beloved Traveling Pup Returns in Poppy’s Egyptian Adventure, the Second Book in E.J. Stelter’s Children’s Series

A Heartwarming Picture Book Adventure Along the River Nile

CHICAGO, IL, UNITED STATES, March 16, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Author E.J. Stelter invites young readers on another unforgettable journey with the release of Poppy’s Egyptian Adventure: Cruising up the Nile, the second book in the delightful “Poppy’s Adventure” series. Filled with warmth, curiosity, and life lessons, the story follows Poppy, a kind-hearted pup whose dream of traveling the world continues to inspire children to embrace compassion, courage, and friendship.

In this new adventure, Poppy returns home after her travels to France (book 1) with a special postcard for her little brother. As he reads it, his tail begins to wag with excitement—his dream of traveling the world with his big sister is about to come true.

Together the two pups set off for Egypt, cruising along the majestic River Nile. Along the way they meet unexpected friends and discover the joy of exploring new places together. Through their journey, young readers learn the importance of kindness, courage, friendship, and the power of using their “Good Listening Ears.”

Poppy’s Egyptian Adventure continues the spirit of wonder introduced in the series’ debut title, Poppy’s First Adventure, which was named a Finalist in the National Indie Excellence Awards.

The first book in the series received enthusiastic praise from reviewers:
