Roscoe and the Pelican Rescue

32 pp. | Holiday | April, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8234-2352-1 $14.95
(3) K-3 In coastal Louisiana visiting his cousin, a boy finds his much-anticipated summertime activities replaced by efforts to rescue pelicans affected by the Deepwater Horizon oil-spill disaster. The text manages to encompass both the drama of the event and the process of animal rescue without being dispiriting or didactic. Reed's trademark acrylics, too, while rather subdued, still incorporate much cheer and humor.
Reviewer: Rebecca Reed Whidden
