Great book about raising & releasing 5 Baby harbor seals

As one of the people this book features, I am proud to have been a part of the team that rescued and rehabilitated 5 harbor seals in the 1970's at the California Marine Mammal Center in Marin, California. One baby seal in particular, named "Pearson" was a determined premature "white coat" or preemie, who struggled to grow and learn how to survive in the wild. Our team of volunteers worked tiredlessly for months, night and day to guarrantee that these 5 seals would make it back into the wild. Their story of how they were rehabilitated and the magic it brought to each of our lives is told in this wonderful book. Look on the back cover for a picture of Pearson and me. With much pride, Margie Comstock - California Marine Mammal Center Volunteer from 1975 to 1979
