Discover the wonderful world of whales! A Book about Whales dives in to explore what makes whales different from all other underwater creatures. It debunks the myths and misconceptions of whales to give the real facts about these giants of the sea. It shows how whales have evolved over millions of years, discusses their daily lives, puts the massive size of these creatures into perspective, and even explains how to tell the difference between ten different types of whales! Packed with facts and beautifully illustrated in black-and-white, A Book about Whales tells readers of all ages what they need to know about these fellow mammals of the deep sea. -- From dust flap. |
