Reviews
Gr. 3-7. Intended for reluctant readers, this interesting, nicely designed book shares much information about whales. Beginning with references to Keiko, the killer whale who starred in the Free Willy movies and is now in the process of being returned to its natural habitat, the text covers much ground in relatively few pages. Expected facts concerning habitat and survival are expertly explained. Most fascinating, however, is the information about communication among whale pods, and between whales and humans. Vivid color and dramatic black-and-white photographs, easy-to-grasp diagrams, and useful sidebars enliven the text. Sometimes humorous (whale communication), occasionally infuriating (mistreament by humans), but always captivating, this book is sure to please fans of the gentle giants which, as Hopkins explains, really are "supermen," with a sense of justice and even x-ray vision. Includes a glossary and some Native American legends. Roger Leslie
