Avi the Ambulance loves to help and comes to the rescue in a most unexpected way.
Moti the Medicycle, Hila the Helicopter and big sister Maya the Ambulance are all on rescue missions. Avi wants to help people, but his mom, the command car, has assigned him and his medic Zack to restock supplies. On the way to deliver them, there is an emergency...and it's Avi to the rescue!
The second book in the beloved Avi the Ambulance series about emergency vehicles in Israel is based on the real life-saving work of Magen David Adom, Israel's Emergency Services System. Back matter includes an author's note about caring for animals, Tza'ar Baalei Chaim, and helping the injured, P'ikuach Nefesh. Also includes a photospread of MDA emergency vehicles and an illustrated glossary of Jewish terms and values used in the book.
"The story here, while simple, is a reminder that everyone can play a vital role. The rescue scene is mildly exciting, but not scary. The illustrations provide female role models in the work of saving lives. The book also makes the point that having (and getting) supplies may not be exciting, but it is necessary."
