Six-year-old Arrow travels aboard his aunt's salmon tender boat from Seattle up the inside passage to Alaska to visit his grandfather on his floating-on-logs house; then he and Grampy fly back home on a sea plane. Though the story's adventure feels too placid, it may have regional appeal. Viano's black-rimmed art, with a silhouette-y, cut-paper look, is eye-catching.

Every letter of the alphabet expresses a term from the natural world, starting with acorn, bear, and cloud. Using the word in context, the text describes each subject in its natural setting. Of interest to young naturalists, this fact-filled ABC book, illustrated with striking black-paper cutouts that incorporate a restrained earthy color palette, has a gentle and sophisticated quality.

From anemone to zephyr, Viano's bold cut-paper illustrations introduce readers to the variety of plants and animals native to the Pacific Northwest. Using an alphabet-book format, this volume features one letter/word pairing per page (A and Z get two pages), with one sentence providing a bit of information about the featured word. This attractive offering will have strong regional interest.
