When her home in Brooklyn goes up in flames, brave Scarlett wont give up until her kittens are safe. See the story unfold as Scarlett the fearless feline risks her life to save her family. The computer-generated illustrations by Kristin Sorra perfectly support the story, featuring the felines in a scarlett-toned smoky haze giving the appearance and feel that they were in the fire. Readers will have instant compassion for the cats whose expressions reveal their emotions. A wonderful book for animal lovers. --"San Francisco Book Review" These picture books retell the stories of famous animals. Sgt. Reckless and Stubby were war heroes, while Laika was the first creature to be sent into outer space, and Scarlett rescued her kittens from a burning building. . . .Larger libraries or those in need of more titles on heroic animals may find this series of use. --"School Library Journal" Nancy Loewen writes fiction and nonfiction for children and young adults.
