This is a delightful board book for young children. The facts are interesting and the pictures capture your attention. My young children loved this book. It's one we'll return to again and again.

This book is very cute. The girls loved it and we've already read it a few times! The pictures are great!

What I Loved: The full page photos of the different types of whales were beautiful. I loved that they were real photos, not cartoons.

How I Felt: This is a perfect board book for a young child. There are very few words on each page, which will keep a young listener’s attention. Each whale has a sentence providing a fun fact about each whale. I learned a thing or two, so I’m sure a child will be fascinated with the information!

To Read or Not To Read: This book is perfect for preschool age children. I think a kindergarten – first grader would enjoy it as well, just because the photos and information were so fun!

What's This Book About Anyway?
Each page of the board book, Big Whales, Small World features a different type of whale. It includes one interesting fact about each type of whale, which would be a good starting point for a conversation with a child. This is a perfect board book for preschool age children.

I received a copy of this advanced reader’s copy from NetGalley for free. I am leaving my honest review voluntarily.

I really liked this book, it was well laid out, had nice clear images and I loved the fun facts and introductions to some of the different species - it is definitely a book that can be used to spark interest!

It is 4 stars from me for this one, it is definitely a book I would read over and over to my daughter and I hope she loves Whales and Dolphins as much as I did at her age!

This is a very fun and educational book for kids. The images are stunning and fun for kids to look at. It would be great if it would be a little more engaging (numbers, rhymes, etc) but overall a great and easy read.

Thank you netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I loved the bright pictures of different whales and the lyrical descriptions. Perfect for young toddlers who can appreciate these lovely ocean creatures.

There are beautiful photographs of whales in this book! I think showcasing the beauty of these animals is so important when so many are now endangered. We must spread the word: whales are amazing!

This is a really cute book for the kiddos that are fascinated by whales. The pictures are very beautiful! I could see my little nieces and nephew pouring over the pictures and noting the differences between the different kinds of whales.

ARC COPY...it good! I best describe it as a simple yet effective educational book for younglings on different whales of the via stunning photography and simple yet informative sentence structure.

I think it's unusual to have a fully photographic board book, like this. I think it's unusual to have a board book for the very young with such a niche non-fiction subject as this. But it's also a little unusual to have books like this you can hardly fault – the rhymes don't really tell us much of the overall picture of whale kind, but the short bits of text instead pick out superlatives from the world of cetaceans. And there's just about enough variety and interest in the wonderful images and in the writing to inspire further interest once the reader is a little older. I can't imagine this purchase is a priority for many cash-strapped libraries and educators, but if so then this is certainly a good purchase.
