review 1: This nonfiction picture book would be quite useful in a variety of ways. A child could simply read, learn, and enjoy the beautiful textured, realistic-looking mixed media illustrations and factual story. A child could use this book as a mentor text, an example of how to write his/her own picture book about an animal, after gathering research and writing a factual story. Lastly, this book could be used to demonstrate the various levels of viewing a picture book. The book can be read simply by reading the large text in which the narrator speaks directly to the reader. End pages, author's note and smaller italicize type can be read for a more thorough understanding of the topic. An index and two websites are appended.This book would be appropriate for children in grades... more K-5.
review 2: The illustrations in this non-fiction book are so clear and detailed some feel like photographs. The curious seal on the cover draws the reader into a conversational narrative. The book starts with a seal on the beach heading for water and then spends time telling the reader about a seal under water (eating, breathing, moving, hearing), ending on the beach again. The large print text could be read to preschoolers. More information about seals can be found in smaller, italicized print in the pictures. End pages include labeled drawings of eighteen different types of seals. Be sure to read the author's note at the beginning to know a true seal from other seals. less
