Reading is very important in our house. For Charlie’s baby shower we received a book from everyone instead of cards. Every night before bed, we read a book. We had the chance to review a new book presented by award-winning author Carole P. Roman, written by her grandson, Alexander Luke. And the really awesome part: Alexander is only 5!
In the book, Whaley goes on an adventure learning about different kinds of whales that he encounters in his home. Did you know there are 40 different kinds of whales? I didn’t. I definitely learned some things from this book, and I know Charlie did as well. He was checking out the pictures (illustrated by Alexander Luke) and telling me about the whale’s teeth and what color they were.
One part I especially love is the Orca we meet. Owen the Orca. How perfect is that for my family? I always think it’s neat when we find our names in books.
I highly recommend this book: it’s cute, informative, and told by a child. I think all kids will love that it’s told by another little boy.

That sounds like a great book. My six year old has been SO into reading lately so this would be great for him!
ReplyDeleteReading is so important for little ones! My mom always took time to read to us when we were small - I believe it's the reason why I still love reading to this day!
ReplyDeleteThis was a cute book i had to go buy it.
ReplyDeleteMy son's teaching assistant just had a baby shower and the kids were told to bring in a book instead of a baby item. I thought that was a great idea too! This book sounds awesome!

ReplyDeleteI learned that their lifespan is generally 20-40 years, but can live up to 80 years; varies with each species. Amazing! kristiedonelson(at)gmail(dot)com Thank you.

ReplyDeleteWhales need to breath water and they swim as fast as 30 miles per hour.
