A poetic yet scientifically accurate description of the life cycle of a salmon. This book will inspire children in classrooms and at home to appreciate the world around us!

Fast-paced prose and brilliant illustrations follow the salmon from their form as eggs in a stream to the wide ocean, eventually making a hazardous journey home to their stream of origin. Carol Reed-Jones uses cumulative verse, a literary technique that is not only enjoyable but suggests how interconnected salmon are with their habitat. At the back is a section on salmon facts and what makes a good habitat for them, teaching the basics of ecology and why clean streams and waters are so important.

A perfect book for:

parents and teachers needing homeschool supplies for kindergarten (or any grade!)anyone looking for forest and other habitat books for kidsanyone looking for children's books to help instill an appreciation of our planet!

5.0 out of 5 stars Beauty and science combined
Reviewed in Canada on July 15, 2009
This book presents the facts of the life of salmon in a book of such lovely artwork. The written prose is simple to read or to hear read, and is presented in a manner that is almost poetry. But the quality of the art work is most impressive. This is the way children's literature should be presented--in a way that appeals to all senses and touches the heart.

5.0 out of 5 stars Scientific Poetry / Poetic Science
Reviewed in Canada on March 28, 2001
This story of the salmon life cycle is written in cumulative verse, like "The House That Jack Built." Starting from "This is the stream in the forest," the verses accumulate information as the eggs hatch into alevin and fry, while maintaining the lyrical flow of that stream. Then the smolt travel downstream to "an estuary wide" and the turbulent ocean. When the salmon receive the instinctual message to return home to spawn, the poetry of their journey is reversed: "... up the river with the tide, past the estuary wide ... obeying the voice of instinct's call, they leap a ten foot waterfall, to reach the place where they were born, bruised from the journey, weary and worn."
Again they arrive in the peaceful shady pool "filled with water, clear and cool, that flows in the stream in the forest." What a perfect way to demonstrate this cycle of life!
Illustrations saturate the pages with color. You'll feel wet from the flow of the cool stream, the splash of the waterfalls! Endpapers and an appendix add even more scientific information, as well as contacts and ideas for citizen conservation efforts.

we're a homeschooling family and right now we're learning all about the Puget Sound. This book is great - nicely done, nice illustrations and give a great sense of our ecosystem and watershed. Can't wait to head up to Cedar River to make this all come together for my kids.
