Publisher's Synopsis
Ages 6 to 12 years. A male humpback whale sings long, complicated songs to attract a female. When the male and female mate, it is often for life. This book looks at the life of a humpback whale from birth, through its first year of life, and growth to adulthood. Enchanting illustrations and vibrant photographs supplement the text. Children will learn more about: a humpback migration from polar waters to warmer waters where the young are born; their trip back to feed in the north; how a calf learns to breathe and nurse; caring for the calves in a pod.
