(2) K-3 Illustrated by Raúl Colón. This book spotlights groundbreaking scientist Marie Tharp, the oceanographic cartographer whose mapping of the Atlantic seafloor yielded key evidence confirming the theory of continental drift. Tharp holds the narrative reins here, and her voice, as imagined by Burleigh, generally rings true. Colón's illustrations, a textured wash of sea- and earth tones, are thoughtful and attractive and accurately reflect the time period. Websites. Bib., glos.
