Description
There are two ways to read this story. When read from left to right, the seals believe there is definitely no room on their rock for others. But when the book is read backward, the seals welcome others to shelter on their rock. A heartwarming story about sharing and compassion.
Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"This poetic picture book reads forward and backward, revealing two narratives about sharing and welcoming... The narrative around sharing and welcoming can be scaled for diverse age groups. Gently clever."
-- Kirkus Reviews " ...as a springboard for discussion about personal choice, acceptance, and different points of view, there is a great deal to savor here."
-- School Library Journal "... this is a book that fulfills its primary purpose: to entertain and absorb, to invite repeated readings and discussion. And, like the very best picture books, it is COMPLETE, COMPACT, and COMPELLING, offering something for every age and audience."
-- Unpacking the Power of Picture Books "A subdued palette of soft blue-gray watercolors portrays the marine environment in the clever two-sided story."
