"An engagingly direct way of communicating both the science....and how the science is discovered." -- Kirkus "It is Webb's dual perspective, viewing the world simultaneously through the eyes of researcher and artist, that makes her accounts of nature so appealing." --The Horn Book "Another fascinating expedition: .the you-are-there immediacy of the narrative-and the clear and colorful watercolor-and-gouache landscapes and drawings of the birds form an appealing travelogue that is as exciting as it is informative." --School Library Journal, starred review "A good choice for children intrigued by marine biology."--Booklist
