Peggony-Po: A Whale of a Tale, by Andrea Davis Pinkney

Illus. by Brian Pinkney

Created from a piece of driftwood by a whaler named Galleon who has lost his leg to the whale, Cetus, and named for a sea shanty, Peggony-Po joins a whaling crew and sets off to avenge his Pa and capture the ferocious whale. This original story has all the exaggeration and adventure of a true tall tale and makes for a salty read-aloud.
