The Blue Whale

(3) K-3 Both beautiful and instructive, the book illustrates a child's integration of information about this amazing mammal: fifty people could stand inside its mouth, "a single breath could inflate 2,000 balloons," and so on. More poetic than these examples might suggest, Desmond's words accompany art predominated by luscious blues that ranges in mood from whimsical to dreamlike to majestic.
