Books with title Pup the Sea Otter

A mother sea otter gives birth to her pup in the ocean. Then, as she floats on her back on the water's surface, she lifts the little pup up from the water so it can feed and sleep while snuggled into her warm, furry chest. So begins the life of this marine mammal. In Sea Otter Pups, children will read how this little water baby receives its mother's undivided attention until it has learned the swimming, diving, and hunting skills it needs to leave mom and go off to begin its adult life. The colorful interior spreads and gorgeous photos of sea otter pups are sure to delight emergent readers. Sea Otter Pups is part of Bearport's Water Babies series.

A sea otter mother licks and licks her newborn's coat to clean it and get out the tangles. The pup's fur is so soft, fluffy, and full of air by the time she finishes that the baby floats easily on the sea's surface. Then the mother looks up at the sky and sees a huge bald eagle diving straight toward her pup! She has only seconds to prevent disaster. Young readers will explore the underwater world of this marine mammal through clear text, full-color photos, and diagrams. Age-appropriate activities give readers a chance to make observations and develop animal-science skills.
