Animal Rescue Team: Hide and Seek

It#x19;s autumn in Grand River, and as Keisha and her pals prepare for Halloween, a phone call comes in to Carters#x19; Urban Rescue: a deer has been spotted in the neighborhood . . . with a pumpkinon his head! The deer was enjoying the birdseed treat inside when, somehow, it got stuck. The Animal Rescue Team has a problem to solve: how do you get a pumpkin off a deer#x19;s head when you can#x19;t catch him? (And how can Keisha concentrate when the newest animal at Carters#x19; Urban Rescue is howling his way into her heart?) Whatever the dilemma, if it#x19;s got fur or feathers, the Carters are the ones to call! Filled with adventure, lots of laughs, and plenty of critters, Sue Stauffacher#x19;s Animal Rescue Team books are perfect for independent readers. Also available: Animal Rescue Team #1: Gator on the Loose! Animal Rescue Team #2: Special Delivery! From the Hardcover edition.
