The Lighthouse Family: The Whale

62 pp. | Simon | September, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-689-84881-1 $$14.95
(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Preston McDaniels. A cobbled together family of dog, cat, and three mice live in and care for a lighthouse. In this second chapter book adventure, they discover a lost baby beluga and enlist the help of an old cormorant to search for his mother. Though sticky-sweet, the story is well told, and the numerous graphite illustrations add to the characterization.
