My Review:
Any book that was written by a child is special. This story is a great example of the wonders of the child mind. I love it. My kids enjoyed each part of it.
The illustrations are adorable and I love what Carole has done to put it all together. This story is an easy evening read, and plays on the imagination and what the world under the waves might be like for a little whale and his big adventure.
I highly recommend it and not just because it was a little kid's story to begin with.
