Review by: Laura K, 27 July 2002

I started my interest in whales when I was about 9 years old and this was the first book I got. It was very helpful and I would recomend this book to anyone with an interest in whales for a first book or for someone who has liked whales for a long time and already has high knowledge of the subject.
