(4) K-3 Illustrated by Andrea Gabriel. Little Gray, a gray whale calf, and his mother must migrate north to a "special sea" where food is plentiful. Mama becomes too fatigued with hunger to remember the way, so Little Gray follows other whales' echolocation and the pair arrives safely. Realistic cut-paper illustrations and onomatopoeia help enliven an unexciting text. Facts about gray whales, their migration, and their diets are appended.
