Editor reviews

A very short introduction to whales that would be a great choice for kids fascinated by the marine mammals. In a pleasant voice that communicates enthusiasm, the narrator outlines the various types of whales, how and what they eat, the ways they communicate among one another, the threats they face from humans and the environment, and more. Kids will enjoy the fun facts presented in bite-sized “did you know?” chunks, which are perfect for sharing with classmates and parents.

Critic reviews

"I'm learning all sorts of stuff about stuff I didn't even know I didn't know. And it sticks. In a nutshell: wonderful." (Jonathon Margolis, Financial Times)

I hardly see the point of writing a book so short.
it's full of facts, aimed at children I think.
Accurate but so much omitted.
