BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) -- ADVISABLE

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE

This nonfiction picture book introduces children to a number of service animals who help their people with difficulties ranging from seizures to anxiety to blindness. An afterword gives more information about how individual animal species may be used.

This is a fascinating look at service animals, and I love that a portion of the proceeds will go to Helping Hands. Children will likely enjoy learning about talents their favorite animals possess and their symbiotic relationships with humans.
