Customer Reviews

Yeah!

To quote my 5.5 yo - I love whales and I to love learn about whales, because it is science.

A Great Book for a Beginning Readers

I am a school librarian and I really loved this book. It helps to fill a nitch that is underserved - books for beginning readers that are interesting and well done. This book if chock full of facts about whales and they are presented in a very kid friendly way. An example, "Its tounge weighs as much as an elephant" is much better than the tounge weighs "X" pounds. The pictures are great as well. All in all, this book is a winner. We need more such books to fill that gap in children's literature. Kudos to the author.
