Meet Hannah and her three friends, a group of stray pit bulls simply trying to get by on their own. Sergeant Jeremy, just home from the service, is trying to do the same thing. Learn how they rescue each other (and a few others along the way) and finally find their forever home. To Parents and Teachers: Rescued is the first in a series of children's fine short stories entitled Hannah's Happy Dog Tales, written by Coleen Balch and illustrated by Cathleen Berry. Intended for 8- to 12-year-olds, this inspiring book addresses several timely topics: bullying, stereotypes, animal cruelty, bravery, trust, adjustment of returning war veterans, and cooperation. The author handles these issues carefully with a light, even humorous, tone. Rescued is perfect for classroom study. From group discussions to book reports, the inspiring story and detailed color illustrations will keep students involved while learning valuable life lessons.
