(2) K-3 Illustrated by Mike Bostock. In text as well as art, this sea creature comes alive: a lyric narrative traces the mother's hunt for a safe haven to lay her eggs, as predators such as the Wolf eel impede her journey. As in their award-winning Think of an Eel, Wallace and Bostock create ocean magic in their presentation of tantalizing information with simple elegance and beauty.
