K-3Ready-to-Read series.
Illustrated by
Chris Danger.
These early readers focus on real-life courageous canines and the services they provide in their professional capacities. Sadie works as an evidence-finder for a fire department; Gabe was a bomb-sniffing dog in Iraq and now does school visits. Both texts treat the subject matter seriously, presenting straightforward details and acknowledging potentially dangerous circumstances. Unfortunately, the illustrations aren't as lively as the texts. Review covers these Ready-to-Read titles: Gabe and Sadie.
