Back on Earth, no one has ever seen a wild eel lay an egg—amazingly,
the full story of this slippery customer’s life cycle still eludes us. Josh also
liked the new, giant edition of Think of an Eel. It charts for children what we
know of their astounding journey, Sargasso Sea and all, through Karen Wallace’s
boldly poetic language and Mike Bostock’s enchanting illustrations. Josh was
gripped by the eels’ amphibious tricks (“The eel is very clever because it goes
on the wet grass”) and deemed this a “very good book”. An award-winning jewel
from Walker Books. £12.99, ISBN 0744569303.
