    About this ebook

    Elephant seals are huge animals that live in the sea. When I say they are huge, I mean huge. The male elephant seal can grow to be as long as a car! They can weigh as much as two cars! That is big!
    This book is a shortened version of our popular “Elephant Seals: Mountains of Blubber” and is intended for beginning readers. With only 996 easy to read words, young children can experience for themselves the joy of learning about the elephant seal. They will find out the answers to these questions:
    Why do male elephant seals have such a large nose?
    Why do elephant seals have such large eyes?
    How long can an elephant seal stay under the water?
    How fast do baby elephant seals grow?
    Why is a baby elephant seal black?
    And many more!

    Ages 5 to 8
