Customer Reviews

VERY GOOD!!!!!

I loved this book. It was well written. And whoever said they don't like ferrets because they are vicous and bite they are WRONG!!!Do your research!! Anyway it was my first time reading one of his books. I am going to buy the next one. Again, VERY GOOD!!!!

ADORABLE and please ignore the idiotic review below this one

Ferret lovers - any animal lover - will adore this book. Bach, being a ferret owner, captures ferrets in all their wonderful glory and personifies them as rescuers of shipwrecked animals. The Coast Guard rescues humans - but what about any animals on board? Why the Rescue Ferrets, of course! It's a wonderful tale that will delight both young and old. I have all three books in the "Ferret Chronicles" and can't wait till he writes the next one. Very well written, the story moves right along and Bach's attention to detail makes you feel like you're right there in the action. Great job, Mr. Bach :)PS: ferrets are not vicious and my five have never bitten anyone. However, if the idiot in the prior review ever met mine I wouldn't stop them heh heh

Best Ferret Fairy-Tail Series Ever!

Richard Bach is a wonderful author. I wish I could write as well as him! The Ferret Chronicles is special, because there aren't many children's books that encourage the reader that a ferret is a wonderful animal. My daughter has two ferrets, and she really enjoys these books. On a scale of one to ten, I'd rate these books eleven!

Rescue Ferrets Rock!

We loved this book! I've always enjoyed reading aloud to my children and Rescue Ferrets at Sea was a special treat for me and my two sons (ages six and eight). Richard Bach does not "write down" to children -- instead he gives us a richly textured fable for all ages filled with action and adventure as well as strong role models both male and female (and furred and feathered). Mostly I just love a book that I can share with my children that is beautifully written and also holds something of interest for me (any parent who has suffered through some of the "Babysitter Club" genre knows what I'm talking about). I am thrilled that the Ferrets are intended to be a series -- we've already finished Air Ferrets Aloft and can't wait for the next Ferret adventure!

Couldn't believe how much I loved it.

My nephew gave me a copy of this book and I thought Yeah Right! I sat down with it and much to my surprise, it grabbed by the collar immediately. It's a simply a great read with lots of action and a satisfying end. I'll never mock my nephew again. But I won't buy him a ferret!
