From a newborn calf to the biggest creature in the ocean, join Whale on this incredible journey. Follow the peep-through holes on every page to discover each stage of a whale”s early life.

After a year of waiting, Whale is born. Baby Whale is already ENORMOUS but still has lots of growing to do. Whale stays close to mummy whale to drink lots of milk. On their long journey to colder waters Whale has lots to learn, like avoiding boats, how to call out to other whales and how to catch tasty krill to eat. Before long, it is time for Whale to set off on a long journey alone and start the cycle again.
