K-3
Illustrated by
Scott Menchin.
Newbie is a Rescue Bunny trainee with a heart of gold. When a distress signal comes through--a giraffe is stuck in mud in hyena country--Newbie is ready to prove her mettle. Cronin and Menchin bring slapstick humor and impeccable timing to this rousing tale of bravery and determination. The text's one-liners are matched by cartoon illustrations with clean lines and spare backgrounds.
