How Whales Walked into the Sea

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Ted Rand. McNulty explores the probable evolution of modern whales from large land-dwelling animals that lived during the time of dinosaurs, carefully delineating likely changes that occurred over many millions of years. Readers will easily follow the almost poetic explanation of how modern whales came to be. Rand's illustrations, executed in acrylic, watercolor, and chalk, are appropriately watery.
