"Kimmel's verse touches on all the major plot points, from Ahab pinning the gold doubloon to the mast to the final disastrous encounter..." --"Booklist "
"Herman Melville's legendary and lengthy tome is beautifully encapsulated in a jaunty rhyme sprinkled with historical and nautical terms. An author's note gives further information about the story in addition to Melville's own story. There is also a glossary for some of the more unusual words. The illustrations lavishly fill each spread, evoking thoughts of the monstrous beast while the cross-hatching and grain echo the creature's skin, and the choppy movement of the waves even when the action is taking place on dry land. This is a wonderful, short-attention-span-friendly addition to any library." --"Children's Literature"
"Kimmel's rhymes scan with clarity from the start, and he has a genius for synthesizing the loquacious storyline down to its plot essentials. ...The high point of the title turns out to be Glass' art. His oil-and-pencil illustrations create a white whale hide interlaced with the scars of countless harpooners, his sheer girth a towering mountain of angry flesh. Readers will have little difficulty understanding the awe inspired by such a creature. For a bare-bones retelling of the original's plot, this has no equal." --"Kirkus Reviews
