The Adventures of Dori: A Rescue Pup is a heartwarming children's picture book written by Kathleen Conway and Juanita Ellis, with illustrations by TullipStudio. The story revolves around Dori, who is a lovely white puppy living in a cozy cottage by the sea. Dori enjoys spending her days playing and running around the beach with her friends, Benito and Jillian. One day, while playing on the beach, the trio discovers a starfish that needs help. The starfish's limb is trapped in a bottle, and it cannot free itself. Dori and her friends immediately spring into action to rescue the poor creature and release it back into the sea. The incident leaves Dori feeling uneasy, and she decides to team up with her friends and other beachgoers to clean up the trash polluting the beach and the sea.
The Adventures of Dori: A Rescue Pup by Kathleen Conway and Juanita Ellis is a delightful book that teaches children about the importance of environmental protection and helping others in need. Through Dori's adventures, young readers are inspired to be mindful of their surroundings and experience the joy of friendship and working together. The characters are cute and beautifully depicted in the colorful illustrations. I particularly appreciated the tiny details, such as the different colored collars that distinguish Dori and her friends. The book also raises awareness about animal rescue and protection, which is a worthy cause to champion and support. I enjoyed this book and highly recommend adding it to your children's reading collection.
