The Nature Kid's Guide to Seals: A Level 2 Reader for Curious Young Kids Who Love Seals! (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798898181567)

If your child loves playful ocean animals, seals are full of surprises. These sleek swimmers can hold their breath for two hours, dive 2,000 feet beneath Antarctic ice, and detect a single fish in total darkness using whiskers with over 1,000 nerve endings each.

"The Nature Kid's Guide to Seals" is written for curious kids ages 7 to 12 who want to know how these amazing animals live between two worlds. How can an elephant seal weigh more than a car? Why do seal pups gain 5 pounds every single day? And how do mothers find their own baby in a colony of thousands just by smell and sound?

Short sentences and jaw-dropping facts fill every page. Your child will discover that seals swim faster than Olympic athletes, sleep underwater on the ocean floor, and have flipper bones that look like fingers inside a mitten. They'll learn how polar bears ambush seals at breathing holes, how pups are born in snow dens carved by their mothers, and how some seals can go three months without eating.

A book for kids who love ocean animals and the icy coastlines they call home.

One seal. One wild ocean. A whole book full of incredible secrets your child will want to share.

The Nature Kid's Guide series makes learning about nature an adventure, one animal at a time.
