Luminous.

I love it when I learn something new from a picture book.

Crab Moon is a story about a young boy discovering the mystery of horseshoe crabs on a family vacation to the beach. I am using examples from his adventure--comparisons, setting, onomatopoeia--in my presentation on descriptive writing tomorrow morning. It is a gr. 3-5 book with wonderful illustrations and written with attention to the whole sensory experience.
