Whole Whale

“Perhaps the truest charm of this book lies in its language, rich with assonance, alliteration, and internal and end rhymes and liltingly cadenced with read-aloud rhythm.”

—American Library Association’s Booklist (May 13, 2021)

On this square book cover is the large tail of a blue whale on a mustard background. Various animals such as a panda, lion, sheep, and giraffe surround the tale, which has the title in fat, textured hand-drawn letters.
