The Whale

32 pp. | Candlewick/Templar | April, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-7965-1 $17.99
(3) K-3 Newspaper clippings begin and end this wordless story about two children who set out to solve the mystery of whether a mythical Great Spotted Whale lives in the nearby waters. Dark pencil drawings depict the brave pair, with their old-fashioned camera and recording equipment, experiencing turmoil at sea on their quest. There is a lot to savor in the detailed art.
