PreS-Gr 4-- McMillan takes readers on an excursion off the coast of Maine to look at whales. Through dramatic full-color photographs and a spare text, such behavior as a ``Tail breach,'' ``Headstand,'' and ``Flipper wave'' are shown and described. The excitement of the expedition is communicated through shots of the mammoth mammals intermingled with those of two children on the boat as they imitate the whales or react to the surrounding sights. The photos cover the upper two-thirds of each page while the large-type text appears against the remaining white page. Since all that is visible in each shot is the part of the whale, a small illustration showing a side view of the entire animal under water is inset. The full-color photographs are bright, intense, and absolutely sparkling. The children appear windblown, exuberant, and natural. This is first-rate nonfiction for preschoolers. At the same time, older children will enjoy the attractive introduction and the challenge of picturing the entire whale. A visual glossary concludes the book. --Valerie Lennox, Jacksonville Public Library, FL (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.

By combining carefully selected words, skillful diagrams, and beautiful color photographs, McMillan offers the next best thing to a real whale watch. Humpback and fin whales lunge, breech, and do headstands in this photo-essay. Each photograph is accompanied by a short, descriptive phrase and a unique diagram that depicts what observers will never see -- the whale's position under the surface. And for those who crave more detail, an excellent visual glossary concludes the book. Bib., glos. From HORN BOOK 1992, (c) Copyright 2010.

Kirkus评论
Another brilliantly planned book from the creator of Eating Fractions (1991) and dozens of other excellent books utilizing his fine color photos. Every choice McMillan makes here is informed by intelligence and an awareness of his audience. Lucid photos of whales are paired with smaller drawings depicting the same scenes, clarifying and extending the photo images to what's going on under water. Brief captions provide the correct words for what can be seen (``Paired blowholes''; ``Humpback spout''; ``Tail-lobbing splash''; ``Footprint''; ``Spinning breach''); each photo is also labeled with common and Latin names. The journey is traced on a real nautical map; shots of sea and cetaceans are varied with appealing photos of a couple of kids watching them. Notes on the four species observed and a three- page ``visual glossary'' nicely extend the information. A book that should find many uses with readers of all ages; it should also be a prerequisite for reading Moby Dick. Production notes; bibliography. (Nonfiction/Picture book. 4+)

Ages 4-8. McMillan takes his camera out to sea, bringing his readers along on a whale watch boat to watch the whales and to watch two children as they watch the whales. While clear, full-color photographs document whale anatomy and behavior as seen above the water's surface, smaller diagrams show what is happening underwater at the same time. Two-word captions, such as "Humpback spout" and "paired blowholes," appear in large type below photos on facing pages forming a single concept on each spread. Longer notes, illustrated with small photos, are appended. Few children have the opportunity to watch whales in the wild, but many will wish they could, after seeing the pictures here. An excellent choice for young children curious about whales. ~--Carolyn Phelan
