Synopsis

This audiobook features music and special effects. Listen along and enjoy the fun that is Young Zoologist:
Humpback Whale.

Head to the depths of the ocean to study humpback whales in this beautiful nonfiction field guide for kids.

You may know that humpback whales use whale song to communicate with each other, but there’s so much more to discover about these giants of the sea! In this book, acclaimed marine biologist Dr. Asha de Vos explains how humpbacks use special bubble nets to catch fish, and why their poo is so important!

Filled with simple science and plenty of animal facts, this book also explains how hunting made humpback whales an endangered species—and how conservation efforts have seen their numbers increase again.

Humpback Whale (Young Zoologist) is part of an exciting new series of animal books from Neon Squid aiming to inspire the next generation of biologists and conservationists.

A Macmillan Audio production from Neon Squid.

Goodreads review by Annette on December 16, 2022

The Amazon page says this is a book for 5-8 year olds, but there's a lot of information on the pages, so I was interested in the book level. It's too new for ARbookfinder to have. I would think even 3-5 grade children would be interested in it. I learned a lot of new facts!......more
