Book Overview
Meet the Carters: Mr. and Mrs. Carter, 10-year-old daughter Keisha, five-year-old Razi, baby Paolo, and Grandma Alice. Together, they run Carters' Urban Rescue, the place you call when you've got an animal where it shouldn't be. In their first adventure, there's a baby alligator at the city pool, which will seriously interfere with opening day, especially Keisha's cannonball practice. So it's up to the whole family to figure out what to do with the poor guy who has no business hanging around Michigan. Luckily for all of them, and thanks to some serious ingenuity from Keisha, the answer is closer than they ever could have imagined. Sue Stauffacher turns to her first series effort with Animal Rescue Team. With compelling plots based on actual events in her community, Sue has created a lovable cast of characters of boys and girls, young and old, who feel like people you'd meet at your neighborhood block party. Written in an accessible and engaging style meant to appeal to those independent readers looking to be excited and entertained, and with subplots about friendship, siblings, the environment, and animal conservation, along with plenty of humor, these will be a hit with teachers and librarians, and parents, as well as kids themselves.

Gator on the Loose was a hilarious book. While catching alligators in laundry baskets, and making sure the baby gets his yogurt, 10 year old Keisha and her family have lots of funny dialogue. I especially liked Razi, the little brother, and Grandma, who purses her lips at "OL"(Old Lady) things, like elastic jeans and glasses on a chain. I read the book in 3 days. I learned a lot about alligators. I highly recommend this book to anyone who still likes children's books and has a sense of humor.
