Rescues: Best Day Ever (The Rescues #2)

Tommy Greenwald is the author of many popular books for children, including picture books, novels for middle grade readers, and The Rescues, his first series for emerging readers. Charlie Greenwald is a copywriter by profession and a co-author with his dad on this children’s book series. The Greenwald family has had four rescue dogs—Moose, Coco, Abby, and Momo—who inspired this series. (They have not had a dog named Bear, but give it time.) Shiho Pate is a California-based illustrator with experience in the gaming field. She is passionate about children’s book illustration and has published several books, including Ramen for Everyone and the Chi-Chi and Pey-Pey series. Shiho lives with her husband, daughter, and new dog addition Olive, whom she adopted when they met at a book signing/dog adoption event for the first Rescues book.

"Stressful new adventures provide opportunities for three rescue pets to comfort and support each other. A series of tersely told episodes that are spread out over the pages in easily digestible bits follows an adorable trio: a cat named Tiger and two dogs named Moose and Bear. . . In Pate’s luminous, freely brushed illustrations, the feelings of the very young-looking animals are patent on their expressive faces at each moment . . . Sweet, low-key lessons in togetherness."–Kirkus Reviews
