Kah-Lan: the Adventurous Sea Otter
By Karen Autio; illustrated by Sheena Lott
Success! This crab is so big it’s a whole meal. He flies to the sunlight, holding the crab’s back to his chest to keep its pincers from hurting him. He was right. The big crabs are so close, the crab eaters can stay in their sea-tree forest, thanks to him. Kah-Lan has found new hunting waters! His mother will be so proud.
