A little bear. A best friend. One very big adventure.
Louis Joseph dreams of becoming a Marine, like his dad. He has his camouflage uniform, his canteen, and his fiercest growl. Now he needs someone to play with.
Enter Dusty-a striped kitten with a wandering eye, a quick answer, and a talent for surprising his new friend.
Together, they march past the Grumpy Oaks, practice sneaking through the leaves, and hatch a plan: dig a foxhole, pack plenty of snacks, and camp in the Secret Forest.
But thunder cracks overhead. Rain fills their hiding place. When the hillside gives way, Louis grabs Dusty and holds tight.
Their mothers are searching. A helicopter approaches through the storm. Will its searchlight find them?
LOUIS-JOSEPH'S OOH RAH pairs painted woodland illustrations with humor, friendship, and a dramatic rescue. For children ages 5-9, it's an adventure about growing brave enough to ask for help.
