From School Library Journal
Grade 1-3-An appealing format is this book's chief asset. Strong, plastic-coated pages are encased in a spiral binding; vivid paintings accompany the minimal text on almost every page. Succinctly described, but placed in random order, are a few physical and behavorial characteristics common to all whales; the basic differences between toothed and baleen varieties; and one or two special characteristics of the 15 different species depicted. Assorted other creatures are also shown, such as the giant squid, walrus, and manatee, but they are merely mentioned. Most, but not all, of the animals are identified by common name; some captions include average body lengths. Six paintings of whales appear on transparent plastic pages, engineered to show one or more from different angles while employing the same... |

Book Description
A random and sadistic killer stalks the summer beaches of Oregon at the height of the tourist season. An enigma to the local police, the already troubled town of Cutter Point, on the southern Oregon coast, is thrown into panic when the killer’s body count of abducted and murdered young boys begins to rise. As newly hired police chief Kevin Kearnes wages an uphill battle for control of his agency, fighting corrupt city officials and even some members of his own department, a chance meeting with a beautiful and secretive woman leads to love, giving the recently divorced and damaged Kearnes a sense of renewed hope about his future.

From Kirkus Reviews
An elongated lullaby--pages that unfold, concertina-style, into a look at dreaming animals from around the globe. Schlein (More Than One, 1996, etc.) takes readers through bedtime in the animal kingdom: ``Sleep safe,/baby kangaroo,/in your mama's/furry pocket./Sleep safe.'' The joey cuddles up in the mother's pouch, an eagle chick nests in a high peak, a baby whale is tucked into the waves. Each soothing verse of this lullaby is paired with a soft drawing of the animal watched over by the mother, father, or, in the case of the baby elephant, the whole herd. On the reverse side of the fold-out pages is a long map where children--if they haven't already fallen asleep--can pick out the sleeping creatures in their habitats.
