BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3), EL - ESSENTIAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
A bowhead whale was born about two hundred years ago. Through its long life it has seen a lot of changes. Oceans used to be a quiet place where the whale could hear the sound of other whales, and boats like rowboats and sail ships. Now, the oceans are becoming a noisy place, making it hard to hear her baby, number five now, and other whales with all the noise. The water is also warmer now that it was 200 years ago when she was born, with less ice floating in the water.
I learned a lot from this book. The author and illustrator take you on a journey through those 200 years from the perspective of a bowhead whale. It was very interesting and I would highly recommend it. The story was interesting; however, the print was too small and at times hard to see.
