Review of
Our Whale-watching Trip,
by Sylvia Karavis and Gill Matthews ISBN 0763567299
Five out of five stars
Great primer on whales
This book is a
great introduction to whales in general and the humpback whale in particular.
It describes the trip of a family on a whale watch excursion on a boat. The
whales they see are humpbacks and each of their defining characteristics are
explained in image and text. The reader learns why they are called humpbacks
and how distinctive their tail patterns are among other things.
The images and
text are large enough to be seen from some distance away, making this an ideal
book for reading to large groups of children. An excellent and fun science
lesson, this is a book that should be in every elementary school.
