(4) K-3 Illustrated by Andrew Glass. Kimmel distills Melville's hefty novel into short stanzas of rhyming verse. Glass's striking turquoise-toned paintings do a grand job of capturing the scale of the sea and the whale. All in all, however, this scant treatment reduces the classic novel of tragic obsession into a surprisingly cheerful and gently humorous reminder to "respect all creatures, great and small, and leave the whales alone!" Glos.
