(4) K-3 Photographs by Ian McAllister. A present-tense text narrating possible experiences of some hungry orcas loosely organizes this fact-filled introduction to the wildlife of Canada's Great Bear Sea. Puffins, sea lions, salmon, a blue shark, and others make appearances in the crisp, excellent full-color photographs throughout. Occasionally the text doesn't precisely map to the images, but overall the book provides a serviceable starting point for young readers studying the region.
