I really love this book - the illistrations are stunning, and the story beautiful. I had it with me to share with the class but we were quite tight for time on many occasions so I shared it with
my ADDM group. The images in it, and the story is so soothing. It creates that almost “dusky Yukon feel,” but in a “summer evening in a cabin by the ocean” kind of way. I am a huge fan of visualization activities using art and while I did not get a chance to try this one out on practicum, I will for sure in my next one practicum. The 
night time imagery and emotive feelings in this story are extremely powerful– this is probably my favorite children’s book of the last few months. I hope many of you can use it in the future. Its about a boy who dreams of being a whale from his bath tub…. And the dream takes him to rescuing and 
interacting with whales in many different ways. “We took up the Whales in the dark of the night, and slipped them into the sea from our garden.” A Garden of Whales by Maggie Steincrohn Davis. Fabulous art integration here.
