Biedrzycki's beautifully rendered spreads contribute mightily to the book's strength. His sea creatures are exquisitely drafted in colors that turn from bright and friendly to deep and ominous. There is almost a photographic reality to the art, with young Danny looking especially true to life. A book that captures the sense of adventure, awe, and danger that the ocean inspires while presenting a solid bit of marine ecology (Booklist/February 1, 2000) star review
