Whales are interesting, dramatic, exciting. The author and the artist have given us a whole parade of them from the giant blue to the dolphin—also a whale.

In the course of migration, whales meet many other of their species. The book also takes time to give us a close-up of the life story of blue and sperm whales. There is also a section on whale hunting, with emphasis on man's present day responsibility with regard to this.
