(4) K-3 Extraordinary Migrations series. Illustrated by Tom Leonard. A gray whale feeds heavily in her arctic home, preparing for her annual migration to warmer waters off Mexico. Once there, she has a baby, then in a few months, they return north. The clear though uneventful text is joined by full-page acrylic illustrations, which, while not adding much context apart from a single map, are accurate and realistic. Reading list. Glos., ind.

(4) K-3 Extraordinary Migrations series. Illustrated by Joshua S. Brunet. Following the journey of a single female monarch butterfly, the basic text explains her reasons for migrating, dangers she faces, and her need to return north to lay eggs. The oil, acrylic, and colored-pencil illustrations are accurate and colorful but don't help convey the enormity of the butterfly's journey, apart from a single map of North America. Reading list. Glos., ind.
