This book covers more than just whales - it shows all sorts of marine mammals, including seals and walruses, sea lions and dolphins, porpoises and manatees.

Incredible photographs hold your child's interest, and the facts and details give your child an excellent understanding. This book also covers whaling, and includes a photograph of a whale that has been killed by whalers. It shows seal hunters, also.

There is a good section in this book that shows the problems associated with fishing and pollution. It talks about oceanographers and marine biologists, how they track and identify ocean animals, and how humans are helping and studying these species.

I bought this book as a birthday gift for my grandson. He has loved it. I think the pictures as well as the information make this book a welcome addition to any child's library.

Its a pretty good book if your kids are interested in marine life but this is called Whales and only about half the things are actually about whales. I was expecting a whale book, if I wanted a book about all marine mammals, I would have gotten one called marine mammals. The pictures aren't great and the information is lacking. I wouldn't buy it again.

I got this book for my children. They love the book and have learned a lot a fascinating information about whales.
