Reviews / Votes
A great pleasure...complete with a CD that includes extra facts and fun. The beautiful and informative central illustrations are supplemented by smaller vignettes, each of which makes a particular factual point. -- Julia Eccleshare * Guardian * Karen Wallace's lyrical text perfectly captures the many marvels of their remarkable lives ... Mike Bostock's sinuous, marine toned illustrations are almost abstract in feels, and artfully complement the poetry of the text. * Child Education *More details
