Good eating : the short life of krill / written by Matt Lilley ; illustrated by Dan Tavis. by Lilley, Matt, author. Thomaston, Maine : Tilbury House Publishers, [2022] Subjects Krill -- Miscellanea -- Juvenile literature. ISBN:  9780884488675 (hardcover) : 0884488675 (hardcover) Description:  1 volume (unpaged) : color illustrations ; 29 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  Just 2 inches long full-grown, this little guy is the foundation of the Southern Ocean food chain... "Hi. What are you? You appear to be an egg. You are an egg sinking. For many days, you sink. You sink a mile down, and you keep sinking down... down... until..." The unidentified narrator follows one krill among billions as it pursues its brief existence, eating and eating while metamorphosing from one thing into another and trying to avoid being eaten. Questions and advice are hurled at the krill on every page, but the krill never responds--because, after all, krill can't talk, and this is nonfiction. Krill are the largest animals able to catch and eat phytoplankton, and they in turn are eaten by the largest animals ever to live on earth--blue whales--as well as by seals, penguins, and a host of others. In other words, krill are really good at eating, and they make really good eating. And that makes them the most important animals in the high-latitude oceans. As in The Whale Fall Caf, Dan Tavis's illustrations combine scientific accuracy with Nemo liveliness and humor. Our star krill is so good at gobbling up phytoplankton that he turns green, so we can pick him out from the crowd racing to escape a penguin's beak or a blue whale's gaping maw. The book has been reviewed and endorsed by global krill expert Dr. Stephen Nichol, and the manuscript earned an honorable mention in Minnesota's McKnight Artist Fellowships for Writers.
