Amazing Whales! (I Can Read Level 2) by Thomson, Sarah L. [Paperback]

Description: Gr. 1-3. book, Thomson takes a look at blue whales, killer whales, sperm whales, dolphins, and porpoises, describing common physical characteristics of the group as well as hunting and feeding habits, methods of communication, and endangered status. Large, full-colour photographs from the Wildlife Conservation Society appear on nearly every page, depicting the cetaceans engaged in a variety of activities. Although the photos are crisp and well chosen, a few contain details (barnacles and debris attached to the skin) that are not addressed in the text. The writing is clear and packed with information, and, without resorting to anthropomorphism or fictionalisation, Thompson presents raw data in a way that will be meaningful to kids ("A blue whale is as long as a basketball court"). This will be a great addition to the easy reading section, where nonfiction titles are sometimes scarce; animal lovers will grab it right up. Kay WeismanCopyright © American Library Association.
