Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
From New York Times bestselling author and National Book Award Nominee Sy Montgomery comes the sweet, brightly illustrated true story of a seagull and a sea captain who became friends over the course of four summers.
In a quiet harbor in New England, a sea captain named Ellis is visited by a seagull that lands on the back of his family's passenger schooner one afternoon. Ellis feeds the seagull, and by the end of the week, it was eating crackers right out of his hand! Their friendship lasted the summer, and four years later, the wild seagull Polly still visits. This nonfiction story about an unlikely friendship is sure to charm young readers.
"A Paula Wiseman Book."
"In a quiet harbor in New England, a sea captain named Ellis is visited by a seagull. By the end of the week the seagull had returned and was eating crackers out of the captain's hand. They continued their friendship the entire season and the next year in the spring the gull returned. After four years of friendship, the wild seagull named Polly still visits. This unlikely story of a wild bird and a friendly sea captain reminds us how we are all connected"-- Provided by publisher.
