Research scientists camped at the desolate McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica studying the local lakes and streams are one day surprised to find a young Weddell seal in their midst. Tired and hungry,... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This book is a great introduction for 8-12 year-olds to environmental science in one of the coolest spots on Earth - Antarctica's Dry Valleys. Great artwork from real kids and the illustrations are beautiful. Clear information, and a story about compassion and cooperation. I recommend it for third through fifth grade classroom teachers, middle school science teachers, families and kids who love animals.

This book is great for kids. It is an interesting book that combines elementary school level science and the adventure of a seal lost in Antarctica. One of the great features is the kids art on the side of each page that come from all over the world. The kids really liked looking at the differences between the artwork from England, New Zealand, and the US on the same topic. Also, it is nice that there are some links online where the kids can watch live footage of the seal. It is a really great way to get kids interested in learning about science. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a christmas present for young kids. I have already bought five copies.
