Image of a book cover showing a brightly illustrated seaside scene. A light grey seal sits upright on a sandy beach, facing the viewer, with its mouth open as musical notes float upward. A bird stands nearby on the sand. Behind them, the ocean stretches out with waves and a distant shoreline. The sky is filled with soft pastel clouds and rays of sun near the horizon. The title “The Seal Who Loved to Sing” curves across the top in indigo lettering. At the bottom, the authors’ and illustrators' names, “Zoë Stevenson and Lynsey Bland,” appear in dark blue text.

The Seal Who Loved to Sing

By Zoë Stevenson, Illustrated By Lynsey Bland

Rona the Seal is looking for a singing teacher, but no one wants the job!

The sea eagles fly for cover when they hear her sing, and the humpback whales dive into the deep. But then one morning she hears about the Seal Choir . . . and she realises she’s been looking in the wrong places all along.
