The World of Whales
Get to Know the Giants of the Ocean
von Darcy Dobell, illustriert von Becky Thorns, herausgegeben von Robert Klanten und Amber JonesDive into an exploration of these majestic mammals, one of the most fascinating animal species on the planet.
You already know that whales aren’t fish, but mammals who need to breath and hold their breath under water, just like us humans? And that the blue whale grows to be longer than three buses? In The World of Whales we explore many interesting facts about these fantastic animals, looking at the habits and characteristics that make the multiple species of this family so special. From the stealthy orcas that traverse the seas, to the beautiful songs of humpbacks and the booming calls of the blue whales, we immerse ourselves in the lives of these grandiose swimmers. Join our subaquatic expedition to follow agile fins and flukes, learn about their routines, and marvel as these marine giants breach the ocean’s surface.
What to expect - A book that helps to build a relationship between children and the environment - Detailed breakdowns and striking illustrations of 16 whale species and their environments - Fun and interesting facts about whales’ social behavior and feeding patterns - Tips on how to protect the ocean
Wildlife lover Darcy Dobell is the author of many scientific textbooks and articles aimed at younger readers and advises organizations on how to protect the oceans.
British illustrator Becky Thorns has an inquisitive -design style inspired by her travels. The World of Whales is her first picture book.
