Amazing True Stories

My 5 yr old son borrowed this book from our library's easy reader section. This book has three captivating true stories of rescue that inspire and uplift. We have enjoyed reading them as a family. My 5 yr old who picked it is reading it aloud to us. His 6 yr old brother is also reading it aloud to us. We like borrowing books from the library, yet this is one I would definitely buy and add to our family home library. I can see our kids (5 - ages 8 yrs old to 1 yr old) read this book over and over again. Contains a skydiving rescue story (Arizona, 1987), an alligator rescue story (Florida, 1951), and a toddler in a well in Texas story (Jessica McClure, Midland, TX, 1987).
