review 1: I am sucked into Julie Fogliano's simple style of writing and Erin E Stead's whimsical way of illustrating. This book follows a darling boy and his faithful dog as they wait to see a whale. Written as a sort of "how to" guide, the narrator carefully describes that if you want to see a whale, you must focus and wait. A gentle humor informs you that one cannot be distracted by the roses or potentially boat filled pirates or ever changing clouds. If you really want to see a whale you must have an immense capacity for waiting. The New York Times Bestselling team of And Then It's Spring,, Fogliano and Stead have crafted a beautiful book about a little boy and his great desire to see a whale. It is brief in text and small in focus, but immense in vision and determination. My fav... moreorite part is the illustration of the boy and his dog waiting in their tiny yellow boat to spot the giant whale that is silently filling the sea below them. A lovely simple read that you will want to read again and again.
review 2: In this book, the illustrations are simple but not really colorful. The common colors are blue, white, etc. I love the texture of the drawings and how it intrigues the audience. This is about a little boy who wants to see a whale. He gets distracted by other things like other ships, flowers, clouds, etc. He eventually takes a small boat out into the ocean and waits patiently to see the large whale which is under his boat. The main point of this book it is easily to get distracted, but if you focus on what you want to see then you will eventually find it. less

While I found this story a bit long it had a very satisfying ending.
