Description

If you want to see a whale, you will need to know what not to look at. Pink roses, pelicans, possible pirates . . . If you want to see a whale, you have to keep your eyes on the sea, and wait . . . and wait . . . and wait . . . In this quiet and beautiful picture book by Julie Fogliano and Erin E. Stead, the team that created the "Boston Globe-Horn Book" Honor book "And Then It's Spring," a boy learns exactly what it takes to catch a glimpse of an elusive whale. A Neal Porter Book

Reviews

Starred Review, "Booklist", April 1, 2013 issue: "A gorgeous love song to the imagination . . . It's breathtaking . . . Fans will be waiting." -- "Booklist", starred review

Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews, April 1, 2013 issue: "Readers will gape at the two enormous, whale-sized talents at work in this transfixing picture book." -- "Kirkus Reviews", starred review

Starred Review, Publishers Weekly, March 18, 2013 issue: "Stead's pencil and linoleum prints--as delicate, understated, and imaginative as ever--take exciting creative license with Fogliano's expressive writing."

"The same pair that brought us "And Then It's Spring" (rev. 1/12) returns with a book that has a similar overall feel but a completely different story. . . this one takes on the possibility of imagination." -- "The Horn Book"
