"A sea otter is quite large; a male can be as big as a German shepherd dog. They are good parents too. Sometimes sea otter moms will wrap their pup in kelp (a large, brown seaweed) to keep it in one place while she dives for food. River otters are half or a third of the size of a sea otter, but they are equally fascinating...." Intrigued? Click on the otter on the left to go to Ana's Nonfiction Blog.

I have joined Random Acts of Publicity, created by Darcy Pattison on Facebook. This event is to BLLuRT (Blog, Like, Link, Review, and/or Talk) about a friend's book or another favorite book to spread the word about it. I think Marianne Dyson's award-winning "Space Station Science" is a must read for kids (and adults) and a must have for libraries because it is about one of the most amazing and important human achievements. Currently, the SS is in our minds, as well as the astronauts in it and their families, because there have been problems bringing them supplies. Check the news links in the blog and follow this story by cliking on the astronaut on the left. Come and join me!
