Horace the Seal

As Paw Paw tends to his grandsons scraped-up knee, he tries to distract nine-year-old David by telling a story about a seal and his special mission to save his family. A group of gray seals lived down south in Antarctica on a glacier where they had everything they needed: food, shelter, companionship, and company. But, unfortunately, things were about to change for the gray seals. The glacier was breaking apart and the seals needed to swim to the big island, but they feared being overtaken by the great white sharks. The seals salvation came from an unlikely source; Horace! Through rhyme and colorful illustrations, Horace the Seal shares an important story about family, teamwork, and courage. Book Lexile(R) Score: 670L
