Book Description

5 and upK and upCat in the Hat's Learning Library
Onboard a vessel that would make Jacques Cousteau green with envy, the Cat and Co. take to the high seas in search of whales, dolphins, and porpoises—those aquatic mammals known as cetaceans. While learning how cetaceans stay warm without hair, have teeth or baleen, swim in troops, spyhop, spin, breach, and see via ecolocation, kids are introduced to almost 20 different species—including sperm, right, humpback, and blue whales; Gulf, spectacled, and finless porpoise; and boto, common, hourglass, and bottlenose dolphins. A shipshape selection for summer reading!

“The Cat in the Hat’s Learning Library shows young readers that books can be entertaining and educational at the same time. This is a wonderful series!” —Barbara Kiefer, Ph.D., Charlotte S. Huck Professor of Children’s Literature, Ohio State University

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Tale, September 11, 2009
This review is from: A Whale of a Tale!: All About Porpoises, Dolphins, and Whales (Cat in the Hat's Learning Library) (Hardcover)
This is a wonderful introduction to Whales, Porpoises, and Dolphins for children. Is is filled with scientific facts that are fun to learn because of the delightful rhyme. My four-year-old daughter loves the book and likes to have it read to her often. Even better, it has sparked an interest in these animals which has led to trips to museums, the library, and an aquarium for more study.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my son's favorite books., October 23, 2011
This review is from: A Whale of a Tale!: All About Porpoises, Dolphins, and Whales (Cat in the Hat's Learning Library) (Hardcover)
Excellent Series. We planned a trip to Sea World and wanted to teach our son a few facts about whales, porpoises, and dolphins before we went. This book was up to the task, and my son loved it.
