(3) K-3 Illustrated by Wendell Minor. With energy and suspense, Burleigh tells the true story of a group of divers rescuing a female humpback whale that had become entangled in an abandoned crab net. Dramatic gouache illustrations suit the underwater struggle, and readers will cheer when the whale is freed. A note on the dangers of such rescues for the untrained and facts about humpback whales are appended. Reading list, websites.
