World-renowned swimmer and author Lynne Cox and Caldecott Medal-winning illustrator Brian Floca team up to bring us this inspiring story of an elephant seal who knew exactly where she belonged. Here is the incredible story of Elizabeth, a real-life elephant seal who made her home in the Avon River in the city of Christchurch, New Zealand. When Elizabeth decides to stretch out across a two-lane road, the citizens worry she might get hurt or cause traffic accidents, so a group of volunteers tows her out to sea. But Elizabeth swims all the way back to Christchurch. The volunteers catch her again and again -- each time towing her farther, even hundreds of miles away -- but, still, Elizabeth finds her way back home. Includes back matter with information about elephant seals. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

What a great story! And it's mostly true! Elizabeth Queen of the seas was the name given by people in the city of Christchurch in New Zealand to an elephant seal who totally defied convention and chose to live in and around the river that runs through the city. This is her story and it has information at the end about the breed known as elephant seals (who weigh more than 15 Labrador retrievers). There is also a photo of her!
Well suited for reading WITH someone of any age including ESL, and great for gifting to anyone, but especially to a school or public library!
The illustrations by Brian Floca are delightful, imaginative, and colorful.
I was lucky to find this one on sale for granddaughter Elizabeth! ( )
