Owen Davey’s popular non-fiction series continues with a captivating and stunningly illustrated guide to whales for independent readers.

Did you know that whales are the loudest animals in the world? Or that blue whales aren’t actually blue? Do you know the differences between a toothed whale and a baleen whale?

Immerse yourself in this beautifully illustrated guide to some of the world’s most largest mammals, full of facts about whales, their diets, habitats and how they communicate (and yes, dolphins too).

“A swim with the cetacean clan adds another chapter to Davey’s long-running series of salutes to wild creatures. The author/illustrator fills the spaces between narrative blocks with an abundance of sea life, providing full-body and close-up views of over two dozen types of whales as well as images of their prey, from tiny krill to eels, seals, squid, and sharks. […] Elsewhere, sleek specimens twist, breach, hunt, or show off special features as the author lucidly lays out their shapes, behaviors, and unique qualities with a sure sense of what will catch the attention of his young audience. […] A crowd-pleaser, both verbally and visually.”
