"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.

The 16th charming offering from the award-winning duo... filled with suspense and clever detail for observant readers... excellent choice for the story-time crowd!--Carroll Chapman"Resource Links" (06/01/2004)
The winning combination of the talented Hutchins and Ohi have once again collaborated to design an imaginative adventure for younger readers, one full of action fnd humour. The fresh and high-spirited story has great child appeal. The text is enlarged in several places for emphasis and is incorporated into the story and illustrations. The charming, playful artwork serves the story well. Warm, expressive watercolours are spread across the expansive double pages and simply leap off the page. Ohi's lines are lively, evoking action and expression, in a cartoon-like fashion. This fun and inviting picture book will make a great story time addition. Recommended.--Reesa Cohen"Canadian Materials" (05/07/2004)
