Baby Orca

Our little cousins in Germany loved these! Easily translated in the Google app for them. They love orcas!

Gave it to my granddaughter along with a small stuffed orca because she loves whales. I was concerned the book would be too childish for a 10 year old but she loved it.

My kids love the book. Every time I read it they bombard me with questions and talk all about the baby orca and the orca pod. My daughter says she wants to go orca watching now.

The boy loved the pictures in the book!

I have a LO 3yrs who loves fish. Anything the swims. From the get the catchy cover stood out and was a must buy. She doesn't yet read but makes her own stories up to the pictures and then acts them out later in the tub. This will be a good grow into book for her as she is now recognizing letters and thus the narrative will change as she gets older. So glad we bought it!

I showed my Kindle edition to my husband, a retired fisheries research biologist for the National Marine FisheriesService Laboratory here in Juneau, Ak. He said "It's (Baby Orca) very interesting, I learned something." The pictures are quite beautiful. When Orcas come into the Gastineau channel it's cause for calling fiends to let them know for sightings.

Although written for three year olds, I am already reading Baby Orca to my one year old grandson who traces the images with his fingers. What his grandmother likes is that she never gets bored reading it because the natural history is accurate and the illustrations of these highly social, utterly appealing marine mammals are so beautiful.

If your child enjoys orcas, they'll enjoy this book. Nice images. Story is secondary.

I learned a lot from reading this book to my son. So much factual information about orcas. Very well written.
