Enjoyable
Davy's Dream
"Davy" brings back my dreamlike days in the San Juan Islands As a native of Washington State, I spent my youth attending summer camp on Orcas Island, in the San Juan Islands, near the Canadian border. While at camp, we sometimes experienced "Killer Whale" sightings, which the counselors used to enjoy frightening us with. We spent many lazy days on the beach, or boating to neighboring islands, where we would campout, hike, go clamming and crabbing on the beach or build rafts. Although we didn't spend any time in a sailboat at camp, I spent a good deal of time sailing with my older brother on Lake Washington during those carefree days of summer. Paul Owen Lewis' paintings in "Davy's Dream," with the predominance of greens and blues, contrasted against the black and white of the orcas, vividly captures the essence of the San Juan Islands and the dreamlike state one can experience in this breathtaking environment. To his credit, Lewis lets his pictures tell Davy's dream for several pages, without the help of words. I guess I just want to say that this book rings true to my experiences as a youth in the Pacific Northwest. Whenever I read this book aloud to students in my elementary school library, they always listen with awe and then line up to check it out.

Some things I didn't even know.... The thing that surprised me the most is finding out the difference between a donkey and a mule. I never knew that mules couldn't reproduce. I did know that they were stubborn. I also didn't know that there was such a thing as the butterfly moth. All in all, I found this book entertaining to read and would recommend it to young readers. ... Read more |

Pigment of Imagination In addition to the unique wood prints, Siberell's book is noteworthy for the last page's description of tools and natural color sources (e.g., cedar, animal blood, berries, clamshells) used to make totem poles.29 pages, suitable for reading to toddlers up through first grade or so, as well as a good reading book for the somewhat older child (around second or third grade).

A Frank and Beautiful View of Inupiat Subsistence Lifestyle
Insightful & honest One could enjoy this book for the photography alone, but it is so much more than that.Whaling is a central focus of North Slope Inupiat culture; it is an inextricable part.People here know that; and the whalers carry it out as a sacred trust on behalf of the whole community.

Editorial Review Product Description Written with grace, passion, and wit, Whale! manages to produce a startling and remarkably original reading of one of the most written-about and interpreted books in the American canon. K. L. Evans explores Melville's vast work as a tale not of vengeance but of affection, and Ahab's near-pathological agitation as indicative of his refusal to accept the world as unknowable. Between Ahab and the whale, Evans traces a longing for connection and meaning and finds a forceful response to the skeptical view that language is bankrupt and knowledge is uncertain. In Ahab's hunt for Moby Dick, Whale! discovers a way to reconnect matter with meaning, object with knowledge. K. L. Evans is assistant professor of English at the University of Redlands. |
