Sailing the Unknown: Around the World with Captain Cook

40 pp. | Creative Editions | November, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-1-56846-216-5 $17.99
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Maria Cristina Pritelli. Presented as entries in a young sailor's journal, brief verses chronicle Captain Cook's first famous circumnavigation of the globe on the Endeavour. Full-page paintings and smaller sketches are delicately composed but frequently dramatic in effect; the text is observant in a travelogue-ish way but neither characterful nor very informative. However, this would be a handsome supplement to a unit on exploration.
