Product Description
An engaging, true-life account of an Alaskan sea otter pups rescue and adoption by the Seattle Aquarium. Lootas, Little Wave Eater tells the story of a four-week-old orphaned sea otter that was adopted by the Seattle Aquarium. Color photographs throughout the book show how human handlers raised Lootas, then introduced her to other otters, and finally weaned her from constant human contact. Author Clare Meeker followed the story and worked closely with C. J. Casson, who was in charge of Lootass care. Additional illustrations help educate young readers about sea otter habitat, food, anatomy, predators, and more. Royalties from sales of this book benefit the Seattle Aquariums Sea Otter Program. |
