Snook Alone

Snook Alone by Marilyn Nelson

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Snook, abandoned inadvertantly, reminded me of Tom Hanks' character in Cast Away, only sadder and sweeter since Snook doesn't understand where his friend went or why. The details of the island and the creatures of the sand and sea and the lovely language are matched by the art by Timothy Basil Ering who certainly knows the poignancy in the curved back of a dog, head hung low.
