Full Text Reviews:
Booklist - 08/01/2024 These new graphic novels in the Heroic Animals series (8 new titles) tell about several animals that became famous for their acts of service. In five brief chapters, each book details the central animal’s background and training (if any), or how it came to serve, as well as its notable achievements. Scarlett was a stray cat who rescued her five kittens from a burning building in Brooklyn, New York. The dramatic settings and charismatic animal subjects in these books lend themselves well to graphic-novel treatment. A recap of the animal’s story, a glossary, a read more section, and author/illustrator biographies in the end matter provide the requisite nonfiction elements for academic use. The books will likely appeal to animal lovers and to fans of disaster series such as I Survived. Because the books deal with war and disaster and include some vivid illustrations, the content is best suited for readers prepared for these difficult elements. - Copyright 2024 Booklist.
