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…â€
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. Â 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 Café, 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. Helpful backmatter is
included.
