Pets to the Rescue: Dolores and the Big Fire: A True Story

(4) K-3 Ready-to-Read series. Illustrated by Ellen Beier. A cat saves her owner by waking him twice when he is overcome by smoke during a house fire. The story is simply written and the format is suited to very young readers. However, the watercolor illustrations are awkwardly posed, and in spite of the subtitle, there are no notes to indicate that the story is based on truth. Still, the subject has child appeal.
