Gr 5 Up—In her memoir, Kehret focuses on her love of animals and her rescue efforts for pets and wildlife. She lives in a log cabin on 10 wooded acres in Washington that adjoin hundreds of acres of forest land. This environment brings nature to her doorstep, and it is in this setting that she writes children's books and interacts with animals. Each chapter focuses on how she found an animal in need, what she did for it, and how it thrived. Black-and-white snapshots provide a glimpse of each one. She weaves in information about her writing and family life, including the death of her husband. Pet lovers, future vets, writers, and readers who enjoy memoirs will be charmed by this insightful presentation.Helen Foster James, University of California at San Diego
