In this gorgeous book, a father and baby whale migrate together to their summer feeding grounds. The story itself is sweet and loving, while still imparting some interesting facts about whales. The cover does not do the illustrations inside justice. They are beautiful, deep and watery like the ocean, and very colorful, and they perfectly complement the story. This has become one of our new favorite bedtime reads, especially when my husband shares it with my daughter. Age: Toddler-KindergartenOcean Life: WhalesFamily: Father and childFamiliar Experience: Getting lostFather whale and child anticipate and participate in whale migration through song. When the child whale goes to explore the dark deep, she (or he) get lost and remembers papa's words that if she listens hard enough, she will hear the call of her father's song and can find her way back to him. This book can be used to discuss getting lost and not panicking. It can also be used to discuss colors because Marino provides rich depth in this world underneath the sea.
