 Review by Agnes Rands, Retired Teacher June 28, 2000
Down to the Sea by Jay Nicholas captures the imagination of both children and adults. A young salmon calls for help to the man kneeling on the riverbank, "My neighborhood is no longer safe," the little smolt cries, "and no one seems to care." The man tells the smolt that people in Oregon do care and have written a four volume Plan to help. The Plan is too heavy for the little fish to carry back to his friends, so the man reduces its length to one volume, then one page, and finally a single sentence. Now the smolt can carry the good news to the other salmon that the people of Oregon have pledged to make their ecosystem safe.This fanciful tale with its Picasso-like art is a must for every concerned person's library.
