I picked up the video of Andre and then decided to read the book as well. It was interesting what Mr. Goodridge learned about seals and describes in the book. Andre was quite a character. In the first trip that Andre made from the aquarium to Maine, Harry was told about a blob on Andre's back. When Harry saw it he took it off and took a sample and was going to send to the lab. He called the aquarium and asked about it. The staff said a little boy had taken a wad of gum and stuck it on Andre so they would know it was Andre when he arrived home. We enjoyed the book and movie.
