Down to the Sea with Mr. Magee

32 pp. | Chronicle | March, 2000 | Trade ISBN 0-8118-2499-3 $$13.95
(3) K-3 Mr. Magee and his dog, Dee, set off for a day on the water, but when a curious young whale accidentally lodges their boat in a tree, it takes the whole pod of whales and a creative solution to get them down. Obviously an over-the-top adventure tale, this rhyming story rolls along with understated humor, contrasting with the willful abandon of the animated, retro-style gouache illustrations.
