Easy flowing, uncomplicated language tells the story of a humpback whale - from the day she is born, already weighing a ton, to a time when she struggles to avoid the ever-present whale-hunting ships. Young readers will discover many fascinating facts about the humpback whale in this easy-to-read text. They'll find out where whales live; how whales find their food; how they breathe the air they need as mammals; and how they sing underwater. The author closes with a note describing efforts being made to keep the whale from becoming extinct. There is also a glossary of whale words. The text is beautifully illustrated with John Hamberger's full-color art. An afterward on ecological preservation and a glossary are included.
