About the Author
James Otis Thach grew up in St. Louis, Missouri. His mother was a teacher and storyteller; his father a scientist and outdoorsman. James began his career in the entertainment industry, before turning his attention to education and children's books. He has a master's degree in educational therapy, and runs a tutoring company (with his twin) in Los Angeles. James' first two books are A Child's Guide to Common Household Monsters and The Tickle Monster is Coming.
Review
Based on a true story, Thach's extended narrative poem, composed entirely of rhymed couplets, has a pleasant lilt and an unfaltering rhythm. Thach's text is superimposed on Cutler's sprawling paintings...The author adds dashes of humor to the verse [which] is likely to be tackled over multiple readings. Ages 6-12. --Publisher's Weekly Select
This is a sweet story about the perils of life in the ocean when you're a little seal pup. Told in verse, the story tracks the pup's adventures when he is separated from his mother during a shark attack, then swims southward in search of other seals. Along the way, he gets advice from a wise old walrus and learns to avoid the dangers which threaten his life, including a massive oil spill. The story runs more than 100 pages and is a little long for the smallest readers (under 5) but is gripping and well-told and will enthrall those in kindergarten and the early primary school years. It's a large-sized (11-1/4 by 10-1/4 inches), hardbound book. Cutler's pastels are of very high quality and help tell the story. --Greg Langley, The Advocate (Baton Rouge)
