(3) K-3 A book that begins "I am the Atlantic Ocean" has a lot to live up to, but Karas does a fair job of justifying his ambition. The ocean's monologue never strays into the fanciful, instead finding its poetry in demonstrable truth: "The moon / so far out in space / pulls at me / and then lets go...." While the format is large and the page design expansive, the fresh and playful illustrations display a becoming modesty with no loss to majesty.
