Review Detail

In the World of Whales follows a free diver who photographs sperm whales and the very special event of a calf’s birth. This book does have a basis on the real experiences of Fred Buyle and Kurt Amsler, the only people known to have been there for the birth of a sperm whale. The illustrations and text pair together nicely to share the awesomeness of nature and the otherworldly quality of being deep below the ocean's surface. This book raises respect for nature, the majesty of whales, and the wonder of watching something miraculous take place. Overall, this book is perfect for whale and ocean lovers.
