MayDay! MayDay!: A Coast Guard Rescue
By Chris L. Demarest
A thirty foot yacht, adrift well out to sea, sends, "MAYDAY! MAYDAY! Please respond to our plea!"
Hearing this call for help, the the United States Coast Guard leaps into action. A team of four highly trained rescue specialists head out in an H-60 Jayhawk helicopter. Battling fierce conditions, the Coast Guard tram finally locates the disabled boat, rescues the crew, treats injured passengers, and carries them back to safety.
Complemented by the dramatic, striking illustrations, Chris L. Demarest's text brings to vivid focus one of the many important jobs preformed by the U.S. Coast Guard. A detailed author's note provides additional information about the search and rescue process, making this a terrific book for any family library.

Reviews
"My three-year-old son absolutely loves this book. It has wonderful pictures and the rhyming makes it fun. He's already started memorizing the words. It's by far one of his favorite books!"
