review 1: Now THIS is what I call a picture book. The story itself is note-perfect for its audience, presenting themes of choices, consequences, sibling relationships, adventure, excitement & terror, and forgiveness. The text & illustrations work together beautifully (see the spread with the whales!) and the jokes aimed at adult readers (the boat named for Ursula K. LeGuin, the reference to Moby-Dick) will not be disruptive for child readers. A delight cover to cover.
review 2: Mixed reviews last night on this preschool-kindergarten picture book about three bears who break their mother's blue seashell, then go off in search of a replacement. 5 stars for me, 1 star for Dylan (age 5).I know the Twain and Melville references will be wasted on little kids but the illustratio... morens are super and the message of owning up to your mistakes is a good one. The down side is that Dylan was really concerned about which bear was the girl (hard to tell), where were their folks, and did their folks know they sailed off in the boat without them. He lost interest before they reached any of the islands and went off in search of a brownie. less
