Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 3-5?Baldwin introduces readers to a chapter from America's past. The writing effectively conveys an appreciation for the whalers' lifestyle and the hardships they endured, while at the same time showing youngsters that for them it was just ordinary living. Each double-page spread includes a large pen-and-ink and watercolor drawing; a few paragraphs on a specific topic; and, frequently, an interesting sidebar. However, the illustrations are sketchy, and sometimes have almost distorted faces and colors. While this dramatic artistic effect matches the narrative, it is at times distracting.?Connie Parker, Cuyahoga County Public Library, Cleveland, OH
