Bluebonnet at the Ocean Star Museum
from Pelican Publishing
Tour the oil rig with our favorite armadillo.
The latest in the adventure series finds Bluebonnet exploring the Ocean Star Museum in Galveston, Texas. To discover facts about the off shore oil system, she secretly follows a school group touring the museum. She learns about life on the drilling rig, offshore history, and rig safety through the tour guide and knowledgeable pelican, Red.
Bluebonnet learns that the museum itself was once a working offshore rig, where people lived and drilled for oil beneath the sea. Since its opening 1997, the museum has taught kids about many products made from petroleum and how drilling platforms now out of service have become reefs. Towards the end of the museum tour, Bluebonnet hops aboard a departing shrimp boat with Red to see some offshore drilling rigs in action. After all, Bluebonnet is always ready for a new adventure!
