sftechie said Five Stars. Excellent book, our "Five Stars" according to sftechie. Excellent book, our 2.5 year old loves it. .5 year old loves it. good science book for young readers A Customer This is yet another fine addition to a great series for young children. It contained quite a bit of information on whales, but not too much for young readers to digest. The illustrations could have been a bit more varied.. "Beautiful!" according to consortium. Great message and great science too. My preschooler and his teacher loved this book. Opened a whole discussion about mammals and oviparous animals.
