From School Library Journal
Grade 1-6 Seagulls, sandcastles, seashells, and sips of ocean wash over the pages of this fine collection of sea poems. Hopkins has again gathered works from varied poets (E. E. Cummings, Karla Kuskin, Aileen Fisher, Myra Cohn Livingston), choosing them carefully like precious seashells. Many of the poems, published previously, are reprinted from collections now out of print. Several poems are printed here for the first time. The blue and black ink illustrations complement the poetry. Variously positioned scenes of children exploring sea life, waves crashing, and treasures from the sea work with the text to provide a spacious, unified whole. Other collections of sea poetry for children include The Ice Cream Ocean and Other Delectable Poems of the Sea (Lothrop, 1984) by Susan Russo and Sea Songs (Holiday, 1986) by Myra Cohn Livingston. The frolicky, humorous verse and illustrations of The Ice Cream Ocean and the majestic tone of the Livingston/Fisher collaboration differ greatly from the quiet yet exciting view of the sea displayed in The Sea is Calling Me. Libraries owning the other two titles will still want to purchase Hopkins' collection. Cynthia Dobrez, Oak Lawn Public Library, Ill.
