Animal Rescue Team: Special Delivery!
Keisha and her family are just sitting down to Saturday-morning breakfast when the phone rings. Uh-oh! There seems to be a skunk at the community garden, and it's dug a hole under the shed. At the same time, Mr. Sanders can't deliver the mail to a certain crows keep dive-bombing him when he gets near the mailbox. Time for the Animal Rescue Team to spring into action! This time they've got two mysteries to What could crows have against mail delivery? And what really dug that hole at the community garden--as Mama knows, it's too big to have been dug by a skunk. Once again, it'll take the whole team, along with help from some new friends, to sort out what, and who, is creating all this mayhem around town.
Sue Stauffacher turns to her first series effort with Animal Rescue Team.

Written in an accessible and engaging style meant to appeal to independent readers looking to be excited and entertained, and with subplots about friendship, siblings, the environment, and animal conservation, along with plenty of humor, these will be a hit with teachers and librarians, and parents, as well as kids themselves.

In this other episode of the Animal Rescue Team, Keisha and her family find themselves with two different animal-related problems. On the one hand there's a baby crow in need of rescue from its mailbox enclosure. On the other, a local skunk seems to be causing all sorts of trouble. The family does what it can to solve these problems and a happy ending for all animals is reached. A fine book but not one that's going to make you stand up and take notice. - B

The story itself was cute enough, but this made for a very poor read-aloud. The story just didn't flow very well and there were lots of random asides that had nothing to do with the story... maybe they intended as character development? Whatever the case, they just felt like interruptions.

One Sentence Review: Normally I love everything that flows from the pen of Stauffacher, but this early chapter book series just didn't quite connect due to the characters.

I love this series. This book has a couple of mysteries and animals to help: a baby crow, a skunk, and an injured dog.
