FREE: True Story Of Corky, The Blind Seal (True Zoo Stories) Paperback

The listing, True Story Of Corky, The Blind Seal (True Zoo Stories) Paperback has ended.

This is one of my family's favorite stories. It tells the life story of a rescued harbor seal. A main point of the story is that as he ages, Corky develops cataracts and can not be cured. A thoughtful trainer modifies the blind seal's routines and environment so he can continue his productive and happy life as a zoo ambassador.

This is an excellent example of how to respectfully and thoughtfully treat someone who has developed disabilities. The story can be used as a launching point for many varied discussions. It teaches by example the value and place of zoos, how to provide responsible care, how to problem-solve, how to modify environments for special needs people or animals, and demonstrates the value of each person or animal's contribution to our collective experience.
