      My granddaughter loves sea life and we were able to visit the Georgia Aquarium where she was able to swim with the Whale Sharks! She would love to have these books in her collection.

      My daughter loves books about sea animals. She wants to be a Sea World Rescuer when she grows up so I know she would love reading this book.

      These books look and sound like great stories for the kids to enjoy reading over and over again. Plus, the stuffed animals would be loved in this family too!

      I would like to win this book because I believe Liam, Logan, Cooper, Brendon and Brody would love having it read to them. I think they would learn from the book and one day be able to read it to themselves. They’d also love snuggling with the sea animals as well.

      I have a 6 year old and a 3 year old who love animals. We read every night and I love combining our bedtime story with educational information. These books look wonderful!

      This would be a great addition to my library program. Students always love learning about animals and a Monk Seal would be new. I have also been to the beautiful Hawaiian Islands. Thanks for sharing this book.

      Both of our girls are entrenched in sea life, especially seals and manatees. I would love to win this for my girlies because I know they would enjoy the story and would be ecstatic and grateful to have them in their library where they would receive copious amounts of love and attention.
