Animal Rescue Friends: Friends Fur-ever

Description

Bell, Maddie, Noah, and the rest of the gang are back in Book 2 of Animal Rescue Friends - and they're about to meet a whole new crew of furry pals in need of a little TLC! It's the start of a new school year, and the kids are excited about their new club, Oakville Elementary School's Club for Animal Appreciation, Education, and Rehabilitation - even if their new club advisor, Mrs. Wen, doesn't share their enthusiasm. But as they meet a decidedly unusual crew of animals, including a bearded dragon who won't eat, a therapy pig named Truffles, and a prickly porcupine who needs first aid, the kids and adults alike learn that when people help animals, the animals help them right back.
