ABOUT TATE’S WILD RESCUE

A sweet, funny picture book about an animal-loving girl who invites wild animals to live in her house and be her best friend. She comes up with the perfect plan: She’ll offer them a better life! To her surprise, none of the animals are interested in her offer. Just as Tate is about to give up, she receives a letter of her own. Tate’s heartfelt hope to rescue a wild animal, combined with the blunt hilarity of their responses, makes this charming story perfect for anyone wild about animals!

Back matter also offers ideas for children on how they can help both wild and companion animals. Educational Resources include exercises for letter writing, research about animals, and both SEL and STEAM activities.
