Animal Heroes: The Wolves, Camels, Elephants, Dogs, Cats, Horses, Penguins, Dolphins, and Other Remarkable Animals That Proved They Are Man's Best Friend

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Jeff Albrecht. This breezy poetic celebration honors history's heroic animals. From rat-killing cats in ancient Egypt to dolphins protecting a surfer from a shark, each rhyming poem is supplemented by additional bulleted historical facts and energetic cartoon illustrations. Including the mythical wolf mother of Rome's founders disrupts the otherwise factual compilation. While the book lacks depth, the accessible format provides easy reference and encourages casual browsing. Ind.
