„THE SECRET LIFE OF ANIMALS” is the new realistic children's book series for readers ages 8 and up, divided into several subseries, sorted by the Earth's habitats. Each series features exciting fiction about animals and their environment, with each of the four volumes in each sub-series focusing on a different animal in a certain environment (Ocean, Forest, Savannah). Each book can be read independently.
What happens in OCEAN, Vol. 1:
Driven by his curiosity, a seal embarks on a journey out into the vast ocean. He wants to know everything, understand everything. But the Baltic Sea holds many things: unknown and threatening. At first, however, he finds heaven on earth: lots of fish! While trying to catch the delicious fish, the animal gets caught. Then a humpback whale rushes to the aid of the seal. The whale introduces himself as Lottatwo and gives the seal the name "Minik". Because a name, the big humpback explains, means making a friend. And friends, as Minik the seal learns, not only brave great and small dangers together, but also help each other in every emergency.
When Lottatwo gets stranded on a sandbank and decides to leave the shallow waters of the Baltic Sea, Minik wants to accompany his big friend. But the way north is not without difficulties. When the friends get caught in a storm, it is finally the humans who save Minik. They send him back to freedom and reunite him with his friend, the humpback whale. This is just the beginning of Minik's journey - something new and great is about to begin in the strange ocean. Minik senses this very clearly.
