I loved the color scheme. E was less impressed... ( )

I don’t really think this book gets the idea of Mody Dick across. I realize it’s turning hundreds of pages into 30 words or less, but it doesn’t work. It makes Moby Dick seem like a happy go lucky story. So it doesn’t work for me.

Cute art but thing is is that the babies this is pitched at don't make no bones whether it's moby dick or just whales etc., while the toddlers like my guy who are ready for a dumbed down version of the real story get this board book instead. Huh, turns out I'm totally for abridgements, the fifteen-year-old Martin who turned his nose up snootily at abridged Don Quixote doesn't even know who I am anymore. ( )

The message of the book is the ocean. Each new page introduces a new vocabulary word about the ocean, accompanied with cute illustrations colored in many shades of blue
