Review
" A charming book about overcoming shyness."
- "Observer"
" Instant classic for once really does spring to mind . . . Original, clever and sophisticated."
- "Financial Times"

During a storm a whale is beached on Joe's town, and flattens everything. "I'm truly sorry," says the Whale. But how can everything be repaired? The townsfolk ask the wisest old bird they know, and the results are truly surprising!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Whale, 10 Nov 2008
By Chantal Jacobs "yummymummy2b" (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect picture book for older readers, 11 Sep 2008
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
