4-6Animal Rescue Team series.
Illustrated by
Priscilla Lamont.
Ten-year-old Keisha's family runs an urban animal rescue shelter. When a two-year-old alligator is found in the local pool, Keisha and her father use their knowledge of reptile behavior to catch it. Lots of facts are peppered throughout the story, and the characters, especially Keisha's Nigerian-born mom, are richly described.
