Lots of whale fun

It sounds liked they came out with a new edition of this book. We read the older one so I can't comment on the newer one. This book is a lot of fun with the transparent pages. The text is simple and fairly basic. These teach a little, but I mainly use them because the kids just love the pictures and will look through them over and over again. Whenever I see these books I buy them.

wonderful book!

My sister bought these books for her sons and she lent them to me for my children. She loves them so much that she wants them back for her grandchildren! This was a great book - the whole series is great. We have about 30 of these books and my children love to look at them. They particularly like how the plastic insert make the pages look different when you flip the plastic insert over. This book gives basic information about whales - explains the differences between the two kinds of whales, what kind of food they eat, how they breathe, etc. It doesn't get into very detailed explanations but it's not necessary. It just gives you enough information to interest the reader in the subject. The pictures are great, not too scary. Excellent books for grade school kids, especially those learning to read. I would recommend this book as well as the other books in this series.
