    About this ebook

    As Paw Paw tends to his grandson’s scraped-up knee, he tries to distract nine-year-old David by telling a story about a seal and his special mission to save his family. A group of gray seals lived down south in Antarctica on a glacier where they had everything they needed: food, shelter, companionship, and company. But, unfortunately, things were about to change for the gray seals. The glacier was breaking apart and the seals needed to swim to the big island, but they feared being overtaken by the great white sharks. The seals’ salvation came from an unlikely source; Horace! Through rhyme and colorful illustrations, Horace the Seal shares an important story about family, teamwork, and courage. Book Lexile® Score: 670L

      In Which Dave And I Find An Amphibious Unicorn

      Feb 13, 2019

      We stood under a gang of towering firs on a shoulder of Mt. Hood, puzzled. Ferns slouched from their branches and loitered on the ground. In a place this strenuously green, it was easy to imagine we were the first humans, especially since we were los

      I hung my chest waders to dry over a roof joist in the shed. They had dangled there, like a headless corpse, for four weeks. The business of hedge laying had got in the way of my wildfowling for far too long. My abstemiousness ended when I accepted a
