Item Description


Angelee Saves the Sea
autographed by Jean-Michel Cousteau and author, Beverly Factor

You are bidding on one hardcover book autographed by Jean-Michel Cousteau and author/photographer, Beverly Factor.

About the Book:

Angelee Saves the Sea is the story of an Angelfish, Angelee, who saves the ocean from pollution and destruction by making a picture book with photographs of all the friends she meets on a journey through the sea. Fish she meets tell her why they are endangered and teach her a positive lesson. All the animals want to help her save the sea and improve their own habitats.  

Angelee's goal is to give her photo book to the World Leaders, who are doing a TV presentation on the Earth Day, so they will show the Land People above the beauty of the sea below, and its problems, in the hopes they will change their ways to protect it. However, Angelee runs into various dangers that delay her journey (oil spills, traps, etc.) making the story an exciting adventure.

The book is illustrated with high resolution underwater photography highlighting the natural beauty of the ocean. There is a glossary at the end describing the fish for teaching purposes.
