Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
An oil spill in the ocean means destruction for both animals and their habitats-and lots of work for Seaside Sanctuary, where Elsa Roth's parents work. When pelicans are gravely hurt in the spill and brought into the sanctuary, Elsa and her friends are given important roles in caring for the birds. But the animals can't be released until their habitat is clean-and the company responsible for the spill doesn't seem interested in stepping up. Can Elsa and her friends spearhead the cleanup and save the pelicans?
Includes discussion questions, writing prompts, and more information about pelicans.
RL: 3-5 ; IL: 3-7.
An oil spill spells trouble for Seaside Sanctuary and the birds and other marine animals that live along the beach, including a young pelican that Elsa and Olivia rescue; all the birds need to be carefully cleaned and given medical attention--but there is another problem: until the spill is cleaned up the birds cannot be released, and the company responsible for the spill does not seem interested in doing its part.
