Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-K-This series entry discusses the ways whales differ from fish, resemble humans, and the features that make them unique creatures of the sea. Using a picture-book format with rather clunky paintings, the simple text introduces children to the common aspects of all warm-blooded mammals. Esbensen focuses on the humpback whale and compares it to cats, dogs, horses, pigs, and humans to establish their commonalities. The humpback life cycle is described and illustrated, a cut-away drawing of a museum display shows a glimpse of blubber and internal organs, and a world map shows where these mammals live in winter and summer. A few other species are mentioned, and contacts for whale-watching tours are listed.

From Booklist
Ages 4-6. Written for the Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science Stage 1 series, this book focuses on whales as mammals. In telling how whales are like other mammals and unlike fish, the text introduces a full range of information about whale anatomy, development, and behavior. Full-color paintings, mainly in watery greens and blues, show the animals in their habitat, along with a scene of a whale model in a museum and a map of migration. The book's strong point, though, is Esbensen's simple, informative text, which keeps its young audience clearly in view. Given the popularity of the subject, a good choice for most libraries serving young children. Carolyn Phelan --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
