Mississippi Rescue by Elizabeth Ann Garner tells the tale of a riverboat crew who are transporting coal to a shipyard in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, along the Mississippi River. During their journey, a storm causes a flood that disrupts their voyage. They come across a baby beaver crying in the cold water. Filled with sympathy, they rescue the cute animal and research how to take care of it. They nurse it back to health, show it love, form unforgettable bonds with it, and name it Mississippi. However, due to riverboat policies, they are forced to let Mississippi go. Join the riverboat crew deckhands as they show compassion to their new friend and find him a new home.

Mississippi Rescue is a heartwarming story based on true events from the author's life. It explores important themes such as compassion, teamwork, and unconditional love. Additionally, the book provides valuable information about sailing and boat safety and raises awareness about animal rescue centers. Elizabeth Ann Garner captivates the young reader's attention right from the first page with her engaging narration and casual tone. This is an enjoyable read, featuring friendly characters that are easy to connect with. Their intriguing personalities left me curious about their many adventures. The highlight of the book is the colorful illustrations that perfectly complement the story and bring each character to life. I loved the diversity of the characters and the boat crew's uniform. Overall, Mississippi Rescue is a must-read, and I recommend adding it to your children's library.
