How the first page could read
The sea was silver-blue beneath the morning sky when your child arrived at the beach with their family. Gulls wheeled overhead, waves curled around the rocks, and something small and speckled bobbed beyond the shore. “Look carefully,” said Mum. “There may be seals resting nearby.”
Your child’s name, look and little details replace these words, and the whole story is written for their age.
Why this story works
Made for children aged 4–7, this gentle coastal story gives your child an active role in caring for a shared outdoor space. Rather than approaching the animals, your child practises the simple idea of looking from afar, listening to an adult and keeping the beach tidy. The setting offers plenty for a young child to spot in the illustrations: rock pools, gulls, seaweed, shells and seals in the distance. It is a useful choice for families planning a coast visit, remembering one, or simply enjoying animal stories with a practical, considerate ending. Personal details can make your child’s beach day feel especially familiar.
Reading it together
- Pause at the seal-watching spread and ask your child what they can see on the shore and in the water.
- Talk about why animals need space, using the story’s distant viewing spot as an example.
- After reading, let your child make a simple list of things your family can take home from a beach visit, such as litter and picnic wrappers.
Suggested art style: Storybook watercolour
Soft watercolour textures suit the shifting sea, sandy shore and calm, observant pace of your child’s day by the coast. You can pick any of the four styles and change the details in the form.

Questions
What happens in your child’s Seaside Seal Watch?
Your child spends a day at the coast with their family, spots seals from a safe distance and learns that resting wildlife needs quiet space. When loose litter blows across the sand, your child helps an adult collect it, so the beach is tidier for people and animals.
