Why read it?

Awe, beauty, and a satisfying amount of informationāThe Blue WhaleĀ has it all. I love the curious child we follow through the book, as well as the visual comparisons that turn astonishing facts about the worldās largest living creature into subtly humorous images that I can relate to on a more personal level. In the final pages of the book, the childāour surrogate adventurerāfalls asleep and dreams, amazed by a world that contains such tremendous creatures.Ā
From Lisa's list on water and the amazing creatures that live there.
