From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 3-Peter, a retired sailor, rescues a weakened seal pup tangled in a net after a severe storm. With tender care, the pup recovers, and when the sailor becomes ill, neighborhood children continue looking after the little animal. Delighted by the pup's winsome ways, they dress it up and try to teach it tricks. But when Peter discovers their antics, he reminds them that the pup is "a wild animal. He might nip if he gets frightened. And he's much too special for tricks and toys." He then sets it free to live with its own kind. Reed's watercolor illustrations depict the storm and stark coastline setting in muted shades of pink, blue, brown, and gray. The close-up of the white seal pup on the cover will immediately charm youngsters. Waite's sometimes lyrical text takes readers from the "exploding night" of the storm to the satisfying moment of the seal's return to the sea. Pair this with Gloria Rand's Prince William (Holt, 1992), another story of a seal rescue effort.
