(3) K-3 Illustrated by Ann Barrow. The plot here is simple: a young girl at length achieves her ardent desire to swim with a blue whale. This feat occurs while she's on a scientific expedition with her mother. Embedded in the story is a considerable amount of whale lore, but the child's longing and satisfaction are expressed lyrically. Art--mostly watercolor and predominately blue--appropriately illustrate this experience based on a true story.
