Big Blue Whale

Nicola Davies’ chatty picture book describes in detail the dimensions, eating habits and life-cycle of the blue whale. Additional interesting facts are included at the bottom of many pages.

The text is perfectly complemented by simple, lively, pen and ink drawings. The inclusion of two human figures illustrates the vast size of the whale and provides an additional talking point.

This edition includes a CD with a simple song, more facts and figures and two retellings of the story.

The first has atmospheric background music and is for listening, while the second is a read-along version with prompts for young readers to turn the pages. An excellent book for home or school.
