| So interesting! I didn’t know that gray whales feed by scraping along the bottom of the ocean. This group feeding dangerously in shallow waters reminded me of the orcas that beach themselves in Argentina to catch seals. The art is gorgeous! | |

| Wow, the illustrations are absolutely gorgeous! And who knew that zooplanktons’ lives were so dramatic? There’s a great thriller element to the text as we follow their migration. | |

| At first it seems like a sweet, lyrical new baby book—and it is! But soon it becomes a dramatic story about elemental spirits from Chinese mythology swooping in with gifts for the new baby, which help determine her name. They’re very impressive! | |

“And I don't know if Batty's gotten over it yet,' said Skye.
Mr. Penderwick looked out the window to where Batty was playing vampires with Hound. Hound was on his back, trying to wiggle out of the black towel Batty had tied around his neck. Batty was leaping over Hound's water bowl, shrieking, 'Blood, blood!'
'She looks all right,' he said.”

“In our world," said Eustace, "a star is a huge ball of flaming gas."
Even in your world, my son, that is not what a star is, but only what it is made of.”

“Do you mean to say," asked Caspian, "that you three come from a round world (round like a ball) and you've never told me! It's really too bad for you. Because we have fairy-tales in which there are round worlds and I have always loved them … Have you ever been to the parts where people walk about upside-down?"
Edmund shook his head. "And it isn't like that," he added. "There's nothing particularly exciting about a round world when you're there.”
