With adorable illustrations and a lovable hero in Poindexter the bear, Blue to the Rescue will captivate children's hearts and imaginations as they learn about compassion and responsibility.

About the Book
Blue to the Rescue is a story about three friends who go on an adventurous hike together. Along the way, Betty Lou, the rabbit, notices a sign on the trail path that alarms her, so she insists that they not separate. Because Gilbert, the squirrel, sees something that terrifies him, he runs ahead and becomes lost and afraid. A new friendship develops from something blue that comes to Gilbert's rescue, and in return, teaches Gilbert a valuable lesson about making poor choices.
