A memorable true story
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I love reading true stories to my kids. This one is memorable and thought provoking. My kids wanted to know more about belugas and whales in general after reading it. Great photos of the main character, the beluga named Wilma, throughout!
A FINE WHALE OF A TALE FOR CHILDREN
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Internationally acclaimed photographer and diver Brian Skerry does an outstanding job with this fine book for children. If you have children and love the sea I highly recommend this most worthy effort. This book is filled with Mr. Skerry's excellent underwater photographs. These pictures illustrate a fine and entertaining story line that every child (and adult) will enjoy. If you love the sea and the creatures in it this pleasing work is a must have for your bookshelf.

A WHALE ON HER OWN-THE TRUE STORY OF WILMA THE BELUGA WHALE
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
A WHALE ON HER OWN is a charming story of a young beluga whale who decided to make Chedabucto Bay her home for a while. Jim Johnson, an old time sea traveller and scuba diver got to be friends with Wilma and explained alot about beluga whales and their habits while describing their adventures together. Although told in a story format, the book is quite informative with definitions of terms at the end along with book listings and websites to pursue if this book has piqued your interest. Brian Skerry has done an absolutely striking job with the photography. It really makes this more than a good story and more than a way for young people to learn about beluga whales. It makes this book an exceptional treasure for library, classroom or personal collection.
