NEW Kids Picture Books: Day 10

Emma and the Whale
by Julie Case & Lee White
March 2017. 40 pages.

From Amazon: "Emma lives in a crooked house in an old whaling town, and often takes her dog, Nemo, to the beach. On their walks, they find amazing treasures, like shells and stones and sea glass—and even a loggerhead turtle. But one day, they find something completely unexpected: a baby whale, washed ashore. Emma empathizes with the animal’s suffering, imagining what the whale is thinking and feeling. When the tide starts to come in, Emma pushes as the water swirls and rises, and eventually the whale swims free, back to her mother."

My thoughts: Not my favorite picture book (the storyline was a little boring for me) but the subdued illustrations are beautiful.

Recommended Age: 4-7 years
