Book Descriptions
for Big Blue Whale by Nicola Davies and Nick Maland
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
An introduction to the physical characteristics and habits of blue whales is an exemplary science book for young children. Straightforward, yet lyrical, sentences are arranged in a logical order and meaning is often enhanced by the size or location of the typeface. The illustrations are at once whimsical and scientific; for example, the same boy and girl are seen standing or swimming next to the whale throughout to indicate scale. An excellent choice as a read-aloud for young children, it even includes an index! (Ages 3-7)
