I like whales really much. I have been studying whales for about 3 years. I am most knowledgible about the the giant creatures of the sea: like the blue whale, the bowhead whale, the right whale, the grey whale, humpback, fin whale, minke whale (all baleen whales), and the rest are toothed whales.

I liked "Baby Whale Rescue" because they saved a whale that was stranded without its mother for a week. I knew JJ from TV News, Seaworld, and from watch his release to the sea.

I love whales already, so, obviously I was going to be intrigued by the story of J.J. a week-old gray whale who got separated from her mother and found along a southern California beach, rescued and released back into the wild (don't worry, the "ending" is given away on page one ;>).

The storytelling itself isn't anything amazing, and the pictures aren't uniquely breathtaking, but for the type of story it is I think the book is more than adequate: the flow is good, the pictures are informative, and you can't help but feel for little J.J. and the people who help her recover.

It's a book I would have been fascinated by as a child, and frankly still am a little bit. Plus, it's a great reminder that we can make a difference, and that it's never too late to hope.

My book arrived as promised in A-1 condition. I'm a happy camper! I would not hesitate to buy again through AMAZON.
