To the Sea

(3) K-3 Lonely boy Tim befriends a stranded whale named Sam and pledges to help him return to the sea. All by himself, Tim does just that, and then--satisfyingly--Sam rescues him in turn. The matter-of-fact narrative lends appeal to this endearing tale of loyal friends, while the illustrations mirror its changing mood, progressing from a dark, rainy setting to a sunny seashore scene.
