(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jon Van Zyle. In this engaging fictionalized account of a real salmon's two-thousand-mile journey from the Bering Sea up the Yukon River, Chinook avoids predators and reaches her spawning grounds. Young scientists may appreciate the text boxes of data (e.g., fish's speed, depth, river mile) received from Chinook's radio transmitter along the route. The art adeptly conveys the hazards and scenery of Alaska and Canada. Authors' notes are appended. Glos.
