The Blue Whale

The perfect non fiction book for young children. Informative, clear, and gorgeously illustrated.

We love this book as much as the Polar Bear by same author. The illustrations and text are amazing.

Dreamy and wonderfully illustrated. A perfect gift for a kid but also for adults. The story is simple, just an excuse to give details about these amazing giant mammals.

One of my favorite books ever about the blue whale, and I have read a lot of books about whales. This book is well-written, easy for my grandchildren to read, and gives facts about blue whales that I had not read before. It is a beautifully illustrated book in a large size that appeals to my grandchildren and to me! This book is the perfect blend of beautiful art and science that relates to my grandchildren and to me. For example, I like the comparisons in size to objects that I am familiar with. Before we read the book, I asked my grandchildren if they knew what color a blue whale's poo might be. Surprisingly at 6 and 7 they knew enough to think about what blue whales eat and logically conclude what color the poo would be. I will be looking for more Jenni Desmond books!

Inspiringly illustrated, this children's book about the blue whale demonstrates the sheer scale of this creature, by comparisons, as well as containing information about it in a very readable way
