Review These new graphic novels in the Heroic Animals series tell about several animals that became famous for their acts of service. In five brief chapters, each book details the central animals background and training (if any), or how it came to serve, as well as its notable achievements. Corporal Wojtek was a bear that was officially inducted into the Polish army during WWII in order to remain with the unit that had adopted him in the Middle East--and was later promoted for his role in the units supply work. Patron has served as a mine-detecting dog in the recent conflict in Ukraine, where he also became a symbol of anti-mine education for children. Scarlett was a stray cat who rescued her five kittens from a burning building in Brooklyn, New York. Trakr was a police dog who may have helped locate the final survivor from the World Trade Center following the 9/11 attacks. The dramatic settings and charismatic animal subjects in these books lend themselves well to graphic-novel treatment. A recap of the animals story, a glossary, a "read more" section, and author/illustrator biographies in the end matter provide the requisite nonfiction elements for academic use. The books will likely appeal to animal lovers and to fans of disaster series such as I Survived. Because the books deal with war and disaster and include some vivid illustrations, the content is best suited for readers prepared for these difficult elements.--Miriam Aronin "Booklist"True stories of heroic animals are presented in graphic novel format, from a military bear in World War II to the bomb-hunting dog that saved lives in the current war in Ukraine. Text boxes provide introductions and background information, while word balloons carry the mostly fictionalized dialogue between characters; actual quotations appear in bold font. Comic book style illustrations provide visual backdrop, conveying events and personalities effectively. Panels consistently pace each story, while larger frames are used for more dramatic moments, showing kittens stranded in a fire (Scarlett Braves the Flames), for example, and a search dog arriving at Ground Zero (Trakr Searches for Survivors). While the animal exploits are the focus, their relationships with humans are also explored. VERDICT An appealing combination of true-to-life animal heroes and graphic novel storytelling.--Steven Engelfried, formerly at Wilsonville Public Library, OR "School Library Journal" Details ISBN1669057712 Author Alessandro DUrso Pages 32 Publisher Capstone Press Series Heroic Animals Year 2024 Illustrator Alessandro DUrso ISBN-13 9781669057710 Format Hardcover Publication Date 2024-01-01 Imprint Capstone Press Subtitle Heroic Cat to the Rescue Country of Publication United States Audience Children / Juvenile US Release Date 2024-01-01 DEWEY 636.80092 ISBN-10 1669057712 Illustrations Illustrations Audience Age 8-11 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
