Raves and Reviews
The lighthouse family finds a baby sea lion snoring in Seabold’s easy chair one morning. Upon waking, Topper explains that his mother dropped him off with instructions to wait for her there. Though a little tearful at first, the curious sea lion enjoys his week with this happy, blended family. The seventh volume in the Lighthouse Family series delivers what its readers have come to love: the well-drawn characters and settings, the warm and easygoing atmosphere, and the details that make it all seem so real. Softly shaded graphite illustrations enhance this idyllic chapter book. A good read-aloud choice for younger children who enjoy gentle stories. — Carolyn Phelan
