THE SEA LION The Lighthouse Family, Book 7

Mark Nelson narrates in a rich, upbeat voice as Pandora and the other members of the Lighthouse family welcome a young guest--a sea lion. When "Topper" is discovered sitting in a chair at the kitchen table one morning, amazement abounds. But it's not long before Topper is exploring the island with the children and, for his safety, learning to swim. Nelson maintains a leisurely pace and keen interest in the details of playing with scallops and filling a handmade basket with delicious treats. His characters are lively, and listeners will enjoy Pandora's motherly voice as well as the goose's news that Topper's mother is coming "baack" and the deep, throaty voice of the grateful mother sea lion.
