- Reading
- Read together and pause to distinguish what the book says about seal behaviour from what people choose to do. You might also discuss why volunteers keep watch rather than taking the pups away.
- Themes
- Wildlife rescue and conservation: Volunteers keep watch over pups while their mothers hunt, and Miles organises a rescue mission. The book presents this mainly as information or explanation.
- Worth knowing
- The pups are described as vulnerable and facing the challenges of survival. If your child is sensitive to animal vulnerability, you could look through the book together first.
