Smithsonian Oceanic Collection: Islands of Ice/Otter on His Own

by Doe Boyle, Kathleen M. Hollenbeck

A playful, young otter pup strays from the safety of his sheltered cove and gets more than he bargained for when he comes face to face with a ferocious great white shark! When a tiny harp seal pup's mother leaves to join the adult herd, the helpless pup must learn to care for herself in the frozen landscape. Each exciting, full-length, hardcover wildlife storybook is beautifully illustrated by award winning artists and is accompanied by its own soft, cuddly plush replica of the story's animal hero. The charming story, painstakingly accurate illustrations and realistic plush toys are authenticated by curators at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History. Education and entertainment come together seamlessly in this beautiful boxed set. Each box includes two books and two plush animals.
