Sea Lions in the Parking Lot by Lenora Todaro and Annika Siems - HIGH

Sea Lions in the Parking Lot: Animals on the Move in a Time of Pandemic by Lenora Todaro, illustrated by Annika Siems
. NON-FICTION PICTURE BOOK. Minedition, 2021. $19. 9781662650499 

BUYING ADVISORY: EL, MS - ADVISABLE 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH 

When people went inside in the early days of Covid-19, the animals responded pretty quickly by moving in to the usually loud people spaces. Todaro introduces us to 12 instances of animals seen in unusual places. 

A fun look at how nature moves in when man retreats. Todaro includes a couple of paragraphs int eh back about animals who were more in trouble because poachers were bolder during this time. My only gripe – Todaro should have done a better job of citing her sources for the stories on the pages.
