Archived from the original on 12 November 2008 . Retrieved 3 September 2010.In this imagined exploration, Dr. Morley, a determined scientist, leads her crew through icy Arctic waters. They see narwhals, beluga whales, and orca, but where is the giant jellyfish? Savage’s ink and watercolor illustrations reveal the secret: The jellyfish has been following them all along. . . playful images are the heart of this engaging story. . . . This voyage may be fictional, but the frustrations—and joys—of scientific exploration are real indeed. Whimsical and wonderful. Dr. Morley has always yearned to discover the truth about the fable of the Giant Arctic Jellyfish. Is it real or just a lovely sailor's yarn? While this scientific journey is an imaginary tale, much about such a research effort is true. As Dr. Morley and her crew search the Arctic seas they encounter Narwhals, a pod of Belugas, freezing temperatures, monotony, frustration and even a Polar Bear. And, of course, there is something under the water all the time that trails the scientists. Kozloff, Eugene (2003). Seashore Life of the Northern Pacific Coast. University of Washington Press. pp.54, 56 (1983 edition). ISBN 978-0295960845. Readers will practically feel the cold as they look at images of icebergs and underwater scenes set in the frigid Arctic waters. . . a wonderful read-aloud. Whimsical ink and watercolor ship cutaways and sublime icy vistas delight in this fictional picture book about a scientist’s perseverance while searching for a mythical giant Arctic jellyfish. . . . There’s a lighthearted seek-and-find effect at play as the jellyfish, an evanescent creature with a playful expression, stays just out of sight.

In this strikingly illustrated debut with a quirky, surreal sensibility, the tale of an Arctic expedition invites readers to discover an elusive creature. Glafira D. Kolbasova; Arthur O.
