Who wants to be a seal?

Who wants to be a seal? Phokey does! This feisty sea otter led scientists a merry chase up and down the coast of California. If your children enjoy nature as mine do and like to root for the underdog (under-otter?), they will read or ask to hear this true adventure tale over and over. Both my childlren & I like the educational "Fun Facts" about otters at the end of the story and the beautiful illustrations and photos. The real sounds of otters and seal life enhance the telling if you are lucky enough to have the tape as well
