K-3Ready-to-Read series.
Illustrated by
Ellen Beier.
Despite having lost his sight, Norman, a dog rescued from an animal shelter, saves the life of a young swimmer. Animal lovers who are just starting to read will enjoy the story of Norman's transformation from "the dog that no one wanted" to "a true animal hero." The accompanying color illustrations lack the text's inherent drama.
