First Time Author Warms My Animal-Loving Soul
By Kimberley D. Kozlowski
First-time author, Nancy Clark Townsend, should be really unapproachable of Katrina Castaways. we desired how she swept me by a story, introducing any of a Castaways, their behind story, and how they overcame hardship and fear to rope together and safety their home until rescue arrived. we have always desired stories where a animals communicated, and this one was both desirable and delightful. Like any Disney tale, we could see a cats, dogs and a parrot operative together to overcome their earthy limitations. Humorous, honeyed and memorable. we felt a finale could have been reduction abrupt. However, maybe that was only me wanting to examination more. we rarely suggest Katrina Castaways to all who adore a well-told animal story.

A new children's classical for pet lovers
By Betsy A. Riley
When we initial examination Nancy's story of a pets deserted during Katrina's flooding, we told her she should tell it. In further to being a heartwarming journey story, it has promotes pet rescue organizations and exposes one of a obtuse famous tragedies of Katrina. we desired a story and it reminded me of Disney's "The Incredible Journey". we kept seeking until she concluded to let me tell it. Take a look, we consider you'll suffer it.
