Description
Sea Otter Rescue invites readers inside the Alaska SeaLife Center on the shores of Resurrection Bay in the town of Seward, Alaska. It explores how sea otters become orphaned or hurt and the process of healing and rehabilitating them. It also highlights the people who work at the clinic and how they aid the animals.
Other special features include a map showing the sea otter’s native habitat range and an index, a glossary, sources, and an author Q&A based on common questions from kids. An author’s note introduces readers to small-scale ways in which even they can help with sea otter conservation.
A portion of the royalties from this book will be donated to the Alaska SeaLife Center.

What a cute and informational book! As rewarding as it was to just flip through and look at the pictures, the text was enjoyable, too. Full of information about baby otters and their rescue and conservation efforts, this book encourages the reader to get involved.
Marzie K, Reviewer
This book is really excellent, from its lush photos to the quality of information about what makes otters the unique creatures they are and important concepts in wild animal rescue. It also raises environmental awareness about how fragile their ecosystem can be. While pricey for a children's picture book, a portion of the royalties will go to the Alaska SeaLife Center in Seward, Alaska. This is a wonderful book worth gifting to children who love wild animals and who are curious about helping them. I look forward to checking out the other volumes in the Rescue series.

Five stars. Absolutely delightful look at what's involved in the care of rescued baby sea otters. Adorable photographs accompany information about feeding, playing, grooming, and medical care. Reading this book will make your child want to go to the nearest zoo or aquarium to watch the sea otters--quick!
Reviewer 310565
Great children's book about sea otters with wonderful photos. This is exactly the type of book my daughter would have loved when she was in elementary school. Interesting animal facts along with a lot of really nice photos. This book would certainly been one of her souvenirs from a trip to the aquarium. It also would have been good for a book report in middle elementary (and maybe upper if it was not a book report, but a report on otters.).
