I received this book from Netgalley/the publisher in exchange of an honest review.
The newest Animal Rescue Friends and of course I had to click the request button! For some reason I apparently didn’t see book 2 when it was there, but thankfully you don’t need to read these books in order. While the stories have some continuity it isn’t that big if you miss something. I love that!
In this one we get ten sweet new tales taking place at the Animal Rescue Friends centre! Featuring the characters on the cover + more! I really enjoyed each of the stories and I loved the big variety of animals that the centre gets! From a missing rat who is really missing her buddy and also teaches one of the kids in the centre that rats aren’t scary to a collie who will be getting a special job to a bird giving order and all the hilarity that ensues to even a story about bees! Yep, there is something for everyone and I just was looking forward to each story and see what would be next in this centre. What kind of animal would we get to meet next? And how adorable will they be?
I also love that while the focus is of course on the animals it is also about friendship, about people working together (like the second story), about facing your fears (like with the first story, but also in other stories and not just the kids working at the centre), and making sure that the animals find their home or find a home. Each story is positive and each one makes me smile.
The pages just flew by and I had oodles of fun! I really need to see if I can find book 2 somewhere because I want to read that one as well! And I will be looking forward to more books in this series! Bring me the next one! I would recommend this one to all, if you love animals and fun stories this one is for you!

10 totally “paw-some” short stories all about the different animals (and people!) at the animal rescue centre.
I loved that all these stories featured different animals, unique situations & problems, and many diverse characters. Each story taught a little lesson of some kind- whether it was about a certain creature (ex. learning about bees) or real-life lessons about being a good leader, working together, or communicating with your fellow volunteers.
My favourite was the story about the lonely rat- I could totally relate!!! When I volunteered at the SPCA in my teens, there was a friendly rat named Oreo that would sit on our shoulder. It really did enjoy the company of others, and being around people!
This latest collection of Animal Rescue Friends stories is a total WIN for graphic novels- I can see early readers to comics/graphic novels finding this series a great introduction. It’s also a great one to recommend to fans of Babysitters Club and PAWS, and all animal lovers ❤️ Grade 2-5

As a fan of this series my daughter was excited to read this book. It is a graphic novel told in short stories. The animals are adorable and the book is perfect for ages 8-12. The favorite story was with the cats and how they can knock things over. It was really cute and completely relatable.
