Summary: |
|||||||||
| Part poem and part science lesson, this easy-to-read picture book "celebrates the joy and quiet dignity of these gentle giants of the deep" (dust cover). | |||||||||
Teaching Ideas: |
|||||||||
| Art is colorful, primitive, and very interesting (a note on the end page tells how art was created). Learners may want to inspect and discuss just the art or to explore the relationship between the poems and the art. This text would provide an excellent introduction to ocean life or to figurative language. The chart at the end may provide impetus for further inquiry into whales. The text may also be useful in a Rylant author study. | |||||||||
