About this title

Review:

"Karas has focused on kid-accessible and kid-appealing details and descriptions that will conjure up dreams in inlanders."

An excellent beginning to an elementary-school unit on oceans. A lovely departure for the artist whose work usually makes readers laugh out loud. ("Kirkus Reviews") Karas has focused on kid-accessible and kid-appealing details and descriptions that will conjure up dreams in inlanders. ("BCCB")
