Summary- This book tells everything you possibly could wonder about humpback whales. It focuses in on the migration of the humpback whale.
Evaluation- L.E Carmichael does a great job at touching all the important details of Humpback Whales and their migration patterns. Although these creatures do not live lose to our area, it is still important to educate students about them.
