Scootamapah!
By: James H. Vredevoogd
Illustrated By: Thomas J. Vredevoogd
Scootamapah! is a story of how two small but brave friends venture to help a huge bull elephant seal rescue his mate from a Sea World-type venue after she has been captured at sea and imprisoned for training purposes. Against tremendous odds in the form of zoo attendants with tranquilizer guns, local police, city traffic, large and curious crowds, and the accidental release of a large alligator, will the two little commandos succeed in guiding the two seals back to their natural ocean habitat?
An exciting adventure with an ethical lesson on how humans exploit other species for entertainment and profit, as well as learning the power of friendship and doing the right thing, Scootamapah! is a great story for children of all ages.
