Little Gnouf and Mirabelle are excited for their first day at the beach. The walk to the beach seems to take forever. When they arrive, they see a baby whale all tied up in a fisherman’s net on the beach. They decide to help it. 

The adorable little Gnouf animals captivate the reader. But, this stilted story about saving the environment falls flat. The author could have used much more imagery to bring this cute story to life. The book can be enjoyed solely for its illustrations.
