[ 책 소개 ]
조그만 배를 타고 whale-watching(고래 관람) 항해에 나선 소녀는 이번 항해에서는 가까이서 고래를 볼 수 있기를 간절히 바랍니다. 지난 번 항해에서는 황혼녁에 멀리서 고래들이 물을 뿜는 모습만 볼 수 있었죠. 얼마간의 항해 후에 갑자기 "Two Spouts(고래가 뿜는 물줄기)"라고 큰 소리로 선원이 외치고, 배 가까이서 거대한 어미 흑등고래와 새끼 고래가 보였습니다. 고래들이 물밖으로 얼굴을 내밀고 입을 벌리자 갈매기 떼들이 고래 입속의 물고기를 먹기 위해 몰려듭니다. 물속으로 들어간 고래는 잠시 후 반갑다는 인사를 하듯 거대한 꼬리를 물밖으로 내밀고 바람을 일으키며 흔듭니다. 그리고 잠시 후 뱃전에 난간을 붙들고 서 있는 소녀의 바로 앞에서 흑등고래는 머리를 내밀고 서로 오랫동안 사귀어온 친구들이 오랫만에 재회를 한 것처럼 반갑게 얼굴을 마주봅니다...
Caldecott 수상작가인 Ted Lewin의 사실적이면서도 역동적인 그림은 독자로 하여금 바다에서 커다란 고래를 만나는 순간의 흥분과 감격을 생생하게 느끼게 합니다.

Publisher's Weekly
With its haunting, often poetic text and dramatic, sumptuously colored paintings, this is a book to savor. Weller and Lewin bring readers on board a boat off the New England coast, where a girl waits anxiously to catch sight of one of the humpback whales that frequent these waters in summer. She has been on whale-watching expeditions before, and has seen ``spouts far off and shadows in the mist.'' But she has never really seen a whale, and is hoping that today will be the day she catches more than a fleeting glimpse of these graceful mammals. She is not disappointed: after watching some whales play hide-and-seek with the boat, the girl finally comes face-to-face with a curious, friendly humpback. She is deeply moved: ``It's not a game. It's more like church.'' Readers, too, will feel as though they have come into close contact with a very special creature.
Children's Literature
A young girl is aboard a boat that has set out to watch for whales. It is the time of year when they migrate to warmer water. She worries and wonders if she will be lucky enough to see a whale. The waters boil and roil and suddenly an enormous whale named Trunk breaches. It is a wonderful moment for everyone onboard and she is thrilled that she has seen a humpback-a true giant among sea creatures. Lewin captures the beauty of the sky, sea and marine life with his attractive watercolors. The story does contain factual information about whales.
School Library Journal
Stunning paintings and expressive prose introduce the awesome mystery of whale watching in this near-perfect collaboration between author and illustrator. The narrator is a school-aged girl whose previous whale-watching excursions had been unsatisfying. In a quiet but urgent voice, she conveys her fervent desire to see a whale close up. The excitement builds with two false sightings of dolphins and fin whales until, at last, several playful humpbacks are spotted, feeding and cavorting near enough to the boat to satisfy the child's curiosity. Educational and entertaining, the book cleverly interweaves facts about whales and accurate terminology into the telling of the day's events without breaking the rhythm of the story. Realistic watercolors allow the visual story to keep pace with the narration; views of the girl on the boat combing the bright horizon for signs of the whales alternate with glimpses of the giants of the deep swimming below the cool blue surface of the sea. Pictures and text merge dramatically in the final face-to-face meeting of the girl and the behemoth over the boat's railing. Children not yet able to handle the sophisticated language on their own will nonetheless find themselves drawn into the action through the drama of the illustrations and the cadence of Weller's words. A compelling, satisfying adventure story respectful of the power of nature and the kinship between humans and animals. |
