About the Author
Alain Grée is a French author and illustrator of children’s books. He has had over 300 books published, which have been translated into 20 different languages. He also worked as a children’s broadcaster on French national television, produced three detective novels, ten ship navigation books and was a journalist for 20 years for Voiles et Voiliers (sailing ships) magazine. Alain’s main hobby was sailing. He owned several boats since the 1970s and crossed the Atlantic Ocean twice. He found that his sailing trips provided the perfect time out to work on new children’s stories and illustrations.
Reviews
K-Gr 2—While the cartoonish illustrations in this British import are at times charming, this book misses the mark. Obviously intended for younger elementary school students, it relies mainly on visuals, not text. There are some cultural missteps—in the pages on boats and ships, a Native American wearing a feathered headband rows a canoe, and depictions of Asians and Inuits are also stereotypical. The retro 1950s look may be right for the intended age, but the information isn't, and there is little cohesion among the chapters. They are more or less a compilation of "stuff to know" ("Flowers," "Rivers," "Freshwater Fish," "Vehicles"), but there are far better beginning materials on this topic, such as DK's Picturepedia or Children's Illustrated Encyclopedia. VERDICT Not recommended.—Sharon Verbeten, Brown County Library, Green Bay, WI
