"I think this series is going to be a huge hit with my Lil Man and he can't wait to start reading Rescue! The fact that he's learning things about real animals is great too. He's definitely an animal lover, so knowledge is great for him in that sense!" -- Outnumbered 3 to 1

"I was excited to receive these two books for my children. I have one son who is an avid reader and read both of these books in one sitting. He LOVED them!

Another son started reading one of them and is enjoying it as well. I could tell by the way he started talking to his older brother about things in the book.

Now our 8 year old daughter is wanting to read them too.

Since receiving the books just a few days ago, both of the older boys (ages 12 and 10) have read them. The 12 year old is actually reading them again now.

So looks like these books were a hit in our house!

Hope they will be in yours as well. " -- Laura Williams' Musings
