Salty Seas & His Heroic Friends


This is the story of a Louisiana shrimp boat named Salty Seas and his colorful pals; Sammy Seagull, Patty Pelican and Dottie Dolphin. The friends show they are made of the same stuff as heroes when Captain Charley is knocked overboard. Ella was very captivated by this heart-warming story of Salty Seas and his friends. This book is rich with customs practiced in every shrimping community so Ella learned about hard work, having fun, friendship and the importance of teamwork from this great book.

I thought it was very interesting that this is the only children's book written that specifically focuses on the life and challenges associated with commercial shrimp boats in the Gulf of Mexico. This wonderfully told story and beautifully illustrated book captures some of the finest elements of the Gulf culture and environment. I love all of the real life details in this book. This is a great book that builds a child’s confidence and self-esteem! Ella loves this book so we have read it over and over! We suggest that you check it out as well!

We are excited for The second book in the “Salty Seas Series”, about the oil spill in the Gulf with Patti Pelican as the main character which will be released in early 2011!!!
