Star of the Sea: A Day in the Life of a Starfish

32 pp. | Holt/Ottaviano | May, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8050-9073-4 $16.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Joan Paley. Simple, elegant text allows readers to follow a female ochre sea star as she comes ashore during high tide, finds and eats mussels, and is herself seized by a gull, escaping with only one ray lost. Accurate information is nicely embedded in the lyrical narration, while rich-hued watercolor collages, appropriate for the evening setting, give both large-scale and close-up views. Reading list. Glos.
Reviewer: Frieda F. Bostian
