When You Wander: A Search-and-Rescue Dog Story

32 pp. | Holt | April, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8050-9312-4 $16.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Mary Morgan. In this purposeful book, smells that help lead a search-and-rescue dog to a lost child are described in cloyingly sweet language ("You smell like wonderful cinnamon cookie smiles..."). Back pages have facts about dogs' noses and brief, helpful information on what children should do if they're lost. Morgan's illustrations paint a strangely rosy picture of getting lost in the woods.
