Summary: |
A girl finally sees a humpback whale while on a whale-watching boat off the New England coast. The book includes additional information about humpback whales. |
Teaching Ideas: |
This book belongs in a small text set on whales but works especially well with Rylant's Whales and Davies' Big, Blue Whale because they also deal with the emotional response of people to whales. The larger text set provides extensive information on different whales and their chances for survival. Students may want to write poems or stories about encounters with whales or wild animals. Students can use the Internet sites to research images, sounds, migration paths, and further information on whales for discussion and writing activities.
