Great Migrations Whales (National Geographic Kids Readers, Level 3): As Seen on the National Geographic Channel Paperback – October 12, 2010

I really like that National geographic sticks to the facts in this book. We believe in the infallible nature of scripture including the Genesis history. I understand that not everyone feels the same. So, as a publisher they have a dilemma. They could solve this in two ways...1 offend one group of people or 2 document as many observable facts about whales as possible in an age appropriate manner. They chose the latter option and thus I have bought many more children's books for my kids.

My four and a half year old son is in love with whales right now. In particular he wants to see pictures of whales. We got him this book for Christmas as a part of a whale themed package and I have to say it's great. There are lots of pictures and because it's geared for a young reader it a fairly short book so we are able to read it to him. I will note however that this book it only about sperm whales which worked great for us since he's interested in learning about all whales. However, if you are looking for a book that covers multiple types of whales you may want to keep on looking.

My whale loving and soon to be three-year-old grandson found it to be something he liked. Or so I was told. Actually, I almost bought one for myself too as I do love whales as well. Soon, as time allows I will buy a subscription to Nat Geo's Kids Magazine (which this is) and He'll periodically receive additional issues. I've always recognized the quality in Nat Geo offerings.

We own a child care center and kids from 3-5 LOVE this book!! They want it read over and over!!!! This is also a wonderful gift to a 5 year to 6 year...... that loves WHALES!!! Super!!!!

My son was a bit disappointed that this book focused on just Sperm Whales

My granddaughter really loves these large and color picture filled national geographic for kids books. They are very informative and when she reads them, she asks me inquisitive questions about lots of topics.

When you hear your kid come to you and marvel about how deep the whale can dive, you know you bought the right book. This book is informative and filled with many good pictures of different kind of whales. Not just my boy, I like this book too!

Being an ex children's librarian, I find reluctant reader's especially boys gravitate to these non fiction books, great for sight reading, I have my kids say all the words on the page they know then we highlight them and peace them together. There are many little people boys as well as girls that greatly benefit from non fiction books geared toward them and the subjects they love.
