About this title

Synopsis

Describes how the concerted efforts of an international team of concerned people eased the suffering of three gray whales trapped by ice off the coast of Alaska and eventually helped two of them back to the open sea.

From School Library Journal

Grade 2-4 --In 1988, the three gray whales who waited too long to begin their southern migration and were trapped in the Arctic ice captured world - wide attention. This is that story, told simply, in a picture-book format with black-and-white line drawings. Benson uses varying viewpoints: aerial drawings of people watching, working, and waiting; and underwater drawings of the whales gathered around their small breathing hole. The vast and unforgiving Arctic is an unspoken character in this moving story of an unusual rescue. --Frances E. Millhouser, Reston Regional Library, VA
