REVIEWS
" Done in acrylic on paper,Widener's
paintings have a bright quality and bits of exaggerated humor
that suit the larger-than-life
tale. A whale of an adventure story with a thoroughly likable heroine."

"Award-winning illustrator
Widener showcases the witty exaggerations of the story in his vibrant
acrylics.
The double-page spread showing
tiny Peg in yellow oilskins scanning the sea atop the enormous whale is,
in itself, a tribute to
courage.
Children will like the way
the illustrations splash across the pages, the tale's delightful humor,
and the wonderful
rhythm of the words. " By
