The Tale of Rescue by Michael Rosen - ADVISABLE

Rosen, Michael J.  The Tale of Rescue, 103 pgs.  Candlewick Press, 2015.  $14.99.  Language: G; Mature Content: G; Violence: G; 

Caught in a perilous blizzard, a small family is rescued by a local cattle dog; which is only part of the story.  Beautifully written, this third person tale is one of courage, hope, perseverance and gratitude.  

Punctuated with lush watercolors by Stan Fellows, The Tale of Rescue is a quick read appropriate for older elementary readers or as a class read aloud.
