A whimsical tale,
By Osgoodwasgood (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Whale (Paperback)
I just had to read this to my two children three times in a row. It is nicely written and illustrated so it wasn't too much of a chore :-)
There are some truly lovely children's books around these days and this one of them.

The Whale,
By
This review is from: Whale (Hardcover)
I first got this book from the library for my 2 1/2 year old and we loved it. We discovered that obviously all the other children in our local library loved it too, as it was constantly on loan so I had to give in and buy it. We could not go passed the library without my son saying, "Whale book, whale book"
My son loves to study the detailed pictures whilst I read to him, this has really made bedtime a joy for both myself and my son.

Perfect picture book for older readers,
By Sarah Curran "Booksinbrownpaper" (Oxfordshire, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Whale (Paperback)
'Picture book' seems a somewhat ordinary description to apply to the excitement and wonder in these large pages. A beached whale shocks the Mayor and townsfolk into action which leads to everyone singing the rain song to provide more water to refloat the creature. There's an extraordinary amount of fine detailed observation in the large and the tiny repeated shapes, and the contrasts of the people and the houses. The words themselves are set out in shapes and places to enhance everything. This could illustrate a conservation theme, a responsibility concept, a young and old together enterprise, a team-work moral: many things could come out of it. But nothing is laboured or allowed to interfere with a good tale, absorbed through reading and relishing both the words and the pictures
