"It's imagination to the rescue when Josie tumbles inside her own chalk drawing."
When Josie jumps into her sidewalk drawing to pick beautiful flowers, her sister Morgan races to get help. It's a good thing too, because Josie has a great many adventures awaiting her. And when she is chased by a huge and nasty lion, the whole neighborhood rushes to the rescue.
Armed with a box of chalk, they draw all kinds of pictures to help save Josie: a boat at the riverbank to scramble aboard, a giant eagle to pull her from a raging river and an underwater cave to hide her from a shark. Through it all, Josie's spirit is undaunted. When Morgan comes through with the final, ingenious rescue, Josie presents her with the very bouquet she went after in the first place.
With suspense, charm, and clever details for observant readers, Hutchins and Ohi chalk up another winner in The Sidewalk Rescue -- their 16th book together.
