But though a supposedly "tangled beard hangs from his chin," Dorman chooses to go the Gandalf/Dumbledore route at first and give his wizard a smooth almost creamy kind of facial hair. ![]() Prelutsky makes it pretty clear right from the start that he’s a nasty nut. Add in current Greenwillow baby Brandon Dorman and you’ve got yourself a book that’s primed to win more than a few fans ASAP.ĭorman’s Wizard is an odd fellow. Douglas Florian and various Shel Silverstein heirs may wish to consider the advantages to this kind of artistry. But when I saw "The Wizard" by Jack Prelutsky in its full glory I realized just how ripe the market is for this kind of poetry picture book. Step Four: Observe your clever idea hitting the New York Times bestseller list and smile at how logical and easy this entire process was. Someone you’ve worked with before who you’re fairly certain will end up the Next Big Thing. ![]() Step Three: Find an up-and-coming illustrator. Wouldn’t it be great if we made that old poem of yours, `The Wizard’, into its own picture book?" Acquire permission to do so. Step Two: Say to the author of the poetry (if that person still happens to be alive, of course), "Gee whiz. Say, "Nightmares: Poems to Trouble Your Sleep", by Jack Prelutsky (circa 1976). Step One: Locate a book of children’s poetry. It seems like such an obvious notion that I’m more than a little shocked that other publishers haven’t dived into the idea first. ![]()

Her recordings of the whales have led her to a deeper understanding of the mystery of whale echolocation, the vocal communication that enables the mammals to find their way in the dark sea. In 1984, Alexandra moved to a remote bay in British Columbia to continue her research with wild orcas. At the same time she made the startling observation that the whales were inventing wonderful synchronized movements, a behavior that was soon recognized as a defining characteristic of orca society. She recorded the varied language of mating, childbirth, and even grief after the birth of a stillborn calf. Listening to Whales : What the Orcas Have Taught Us by Morton, Alexandra and a great selection of related books, art and collectibles available now at. In the late 1970s, while working at Marineland in California, Alexandra pioneered the recording of orca sounds by dropping a hydrophone into the tank of two killer whales. In Listening to Whales, Alexandra Morton shares spellbinding stories about her career in whale and dolphin research and what she has learned from and about these magnificent mammals. Listening to Whales, What the Orcas Have Taught Us, by Alexandra Morton, 2002, Ballantine Books, ISBN 8-1, Softcover, 309 pp, black and white photographs. ![]() |
