This is the true story of the unique friendship between Harry
Goodridge and Andre, the harbor seal who was as comfortable in
Goodridge's home as he was in Penobscot Bay. Andre became Rockport,
Maine's honorary harbormaster and was ranked "second only to Andrew
Wyeth as the state's most acclaimed summer resident." Year after
year, Andre swam south in the winter, only to return again to Harry
the next spring.
Meet the National Animals is a playful and humorous look at the
animals all around the world who represent their country. Why do
they represent the particular country and what is so special or
symbolic about them? Featuring over 35 amazing animals, from the
mystical Scottish Unicorn to China's much-loved Giant Panda and the
wonderful, but extinct, Dodo from Mauritius. The witty text brings
each animal to life and celebrates their quirks and
characteristics. Includes a playful, charming narrative along the
bottom of each spread, which sees Brown Bear gradually bringing all
the animals together as they travel the world, celebrating each
country as they go. Filled with fascinating facts about each animal
and country, the text also touches gently on conservation issues
related to each animal and their habitat. The illustrations inject
warmth and humour into the narrative, making the animals the stars
of their respective countries!
