Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From AudioFile
Seven-year-old Toni Goodrich tells how Andre, the Maine harbor seal, becomes part of the Goodrich family's life. With Andre now glamorized (and betrayed) by Hollywood, the original story may appeal to youngsters who savor the simpler version of Andre's life. Rachel Sieben projects the high, bubbly voice of the little girl as she tells of Andre's antics and escapades. Her enthusiasm never lags, and the performance reflects a child's glee, as well as sadness. Adults may find the ebullience a little wearing, but the charm of the tale survives. Comments by Toni Goodridge herself are a nice addition. R.F.W. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine

5.0 out of 5 stars
fantastic true story!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Andre (Paperback)
The story is told by the son of the man who first tamed, and then released, Andre the harbor seal. Fantastic for children because it is told from the perspective of a boy who grew up with this seal, but also very informative and interesting to adults as he is very specific about the difficulties they encountered. While it is a funny and heartwarming story, it also points out the inherent problems faced by wild animals when they are raised by humans. Many fascinating discussions can come from this reading!

This review is from: Andre (Paperback)
This is a great book about Andre the seal - narrated from Toni's point of view. It's a little wordy to read to a 4 year old but it's a good book to read after watching the movie "A Seal called Andre". It fills in the blanks that the movie left out.
