If you want to see a whale, you will need to know what not to look at. Pink roses, pelicans, possible pirates... If you want to see a whale, you have to keep your eyes on the sea, and wait... and wait... and wait... In this quiet and beautiful picture book by Julie Fogliano and Erin E. Stead, the team that created the Boston Globe-Horn Book Honor book And Then It's Spring, a boy learns exactly what it takes to catch a glimpse of an elusive whale.
