JAMES TO THE RESCUE

JAMES TO THE RESCUE by Elise Broach. Illustrated by Kelly Murphy.

After reading the first Marvin and James book, I wanted to continue on with this great series. These early chapter books are so cute, showcasing the friendship between a boy and his beetle. So far, with the two books that I've read, it is not necessary to read them in order.

In James to the Rescue, Martin is so excited to be apart of "collecting." Collecting is where some of the beetle family members go around to different parts of the house looking for useful things. It is a beetle's dream combo of adventure and treasure hunting. This time, however, things don't go according to plan. There may just be a bit of jealousy that happens and one of the team gets hurt. Martin's going to have to step up and put his desires aside to help someone else.
