Pretty watercolor drawings of a small boy who spends his time looking for whales at the beach.
From there it turns into factoids about whales—why they’re not fish, different types, etc.
All cutesy as expected, but can’t help but wonder if it might be too advanced for five-year-olds, especially at the end with the quizzes.

Beautifully illustrated, this educational and appealing book about whales will make learning fun. Types of whales, whale habits and activity, food, climate, and travel are all discussed. However, a caveat: Not everyone believes whales once lived on land and had legs, a "fact" (rather than theory) attested to in this book. Despite this unfortunate inclusion, the array of information provided and the pleasing artwork make this book something to take at least one look at.

From a very young age Whales were always my favourite animal and I wish I had a book like this back then. The facts are great it's laid out well and I thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely be getting a copy to keep. Recommended for all young nature lovers out there.

My Preschooler and I learnt lot of new things about whales from this book. She learnt about mammals. I learnt that whales have eyes but that is covered with fat to protect it from salt water. The information is provided in an entertaining way especially when it came to knowing the difference between a toothed whale and a baleen whale. My favourite is the page which shows how to identify a whale with its unique water pattern out of the blowhole.
the hunting patterns of different whales, Eskimos provided us a chance to refer to other reference material. we learnt a fun fact that Eskimos build the igloo in a slant. Very Engaging book.
