Book Description
On the Arctic ice, a mother harp seal gives birth to her pup. Camouflaged against the ice by its white fur, the helpless pup sticks close to mom, feeding on her rich milk. So begins the life of a harp seal pup. In this coming-of-age introduction to these adorable marine mammals, readers will learn that after just two weeks, the mother seal abandons her pup and returns to the sea. The little pup waits alone on the ice for its white baby coat to be replaced by gray fur, and then, at just a few weeks old, it dives into the freezing sea to find its own food and begin its ocean-dwelling life. The colorful interior spreads and gorgeous photos of fluffy, white seal pups are sure to delight emergent readers.

Book Description
Having worked as an RSPCA inspector since the early 1970s, Steve Greenhalgh has been involved in some rare adventures... Few people have joined a police raid on a quail-fighting ring, or gassed themselves with chloroform while driving a van. He's wrestled swans in high street traffic. And on a fast-flowing river, with one oar, he paddled a boat to save a cat, while Rolf Harris provided a running commentary for ANIMAL HOSPITAL. Some of Steve's experiences are of a more serious nature, but they illustrate the vital work done by the RSPCA and its impact on ordinary people's lives.
