Mocha Dick: The Legend and Fury

32 pp. | Creative Editions | September, 2014 | Trade ISBN 978-1-56846-242-4 $18.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Randall Enos. Heinz traces the story of Mocha Dick, the whale that inspired Herman Melville's Moby-Dick, from the first whaling ship he attacked to his ultimate demise. Enos's colorful, textured art, in the style of traditional scrimshaw, grows darker as Mocha Dick approaches his end. A visually appealing package, but the subject matter may not hold most picture-book readers' interest.
