The Whales’ Song by Dyan Sheldon Paperback, in excellent
condition. $6.99 original price In this haunting, evocative
picture book…filling the night with their song, the whales
call Lilly's name. Infused with the cadences of real
speech, Sheldon's poetic text manages to overlay a homespun
practicality with an ethereal, fairy-tale magic. The unique
grandeur and beauty of these creatures, "as peaceful as the
moon," are compellingly interwoven throughout the
narrative. Newcomer Blythe's paintings are extraordinary.
The play of light and shadow in his cozy interiors is
delicately balanced against stunningly realistic
faces--Lilly's purity and innocence, her elders' splendidly
craggy countenances. Rendered in unusual perspectives,
these vibrant panoramas of the sea and of the whales
leaping from the moonlit water possess a rare luminosity
and beauty that should not be missed. Ages 4-8. $2.80
