A heartwarming story,
By
This review is from: The Legend of Seal Beach (Paperback)
"The Legend of Seal Beach" created by Dave McKnew is a wonderful and touching story for children that will teach them about friendship, self-sacrifice, and love.
Based upon a story that Dave's father, Tom, told him around the dinner table one night, "The Legend of Seal Beach" is about a physically challenged boy named Tommy, who befriends a seal living in the ocean abutting the small coastal town where Tommy lives. He names the seal, Stanley, and they spend their afternoons together playing ball. When Tommy is accosted on the pier by three bullies, Stanley comes to his rescue, changing Tommy and his life forever. I read "The Legend of Seal Beach" with my daughters--ages 4 and 6--and they loved this book. The story will touch your heart and leave a tear in your eye. The illustrations are eye-catching and vibrant, causing much discussion during the reading of the book with little ones. And Stanley's rescue of Tommy is something my girls still speak about. A heartwarming story your children will want to read again and again, "The Legend of Seal Beach" teaches and entertains.

This review is from: The Legend of Seal Beach (Paperback)
Dave McKnew weaves an easy to read tale of how one's self-sacrifice can lead to huge life-giving benefits of another. Told in an easy to understand story that children at intermediate level can undestand. Great illustrations!

This review is from: The Legend of Seal Beach (Paperback)
The story is kind of sad, but it has a good lesson in it. My boys love to watch the movie and read the book at the same time!
