Following Papa's Song

(4) K-3 Whale Little Blue is awaiting the whale song that Papa tells him signifies the start of their migration. After they begin swimming, Little Blue gets separated from his dad but remembers Papa's admonition to listen for his song, and they're ultimately reunited. It's a somewhat facile story; the real draw is the painterly mixed-media illustrations in a deep oceanic palette.
