Follow a gray seal on a journey from sand to sea in an engaging,
richly illustrated story with surefire kid appeal.
On the shore, a seal looks like a slow, dozy creature that spends its
time lazing around or flumping along the sand. But underwater, it's a
different story. Splash! Seal dives deep, with a body just the right
shape to shoot through the water and power down with his back flippers.
He slips through a seaweed forest, and -- sensing a predator nearby --
dives even deeper to stay safe. Finally it's time to make a sudden twist
and turn to catch his fishy dinner. Merging a lyrical narrative
sprinkled with fascinating facts and aww-inspiring illustrations, here
is one nature adventure that's hard to resist.
Back matter includes an index.
