The Rescuers by Margery Sharp

(review by Julie)
Disney's The Rescuers (Disney's Wonderful World of Reading)I've been looking for some longer picture books to read to my two year old on those days that his attention span seems a little longer.  Our library has a small collection of such books but I've been disappointed at the weak plots and uninteresting characters.

However, a month or two ago, my mom saw The Rescuers at a Thrift Store (a great place to buy cheap books!) and got it, with a bunch of others, for her stash at home.  I LOVED this book as a kid- it's one of the few I remember, so I swiped it (with mom's permission, of course) and have read it to my son a few times.

It has an engaging plot line, memorable characters, and classic Disney style artwork. I think it's probably about the same length as Level 3, I Can Read book.
