 | Do Whales Ever . . .? by Nathalie Ward, Tessa Morgan
Nathalie Ward knows what interests kids about whales, porpoises, and dolphins. As a whale-watching guide for many years, she collected many of their most-asked questions about sea mammals. This entertaining and informative book gives serious answers to questions such as Do whales ever sleep? , Do they have ears? , Do whales ever get cavities? , and Do whales really sing? . Along with the answers (some of which will amaze you), Ward leads the reader on a fascinating tour of sea mammal evolution, biology, physiology, and diversity. Some of the facts are suprising: -- Whales and dolphins sleep with one half of their brain at a time -- Whales have tiny ear openings, but can hear sounds up to 50 miles away -- A sperm whale can hold its breath for more than an hour and a half -- A young blue whale calf may gain nine pounds an hour Imaginative and colorful illustrations by Tessa Morgan provide just the fight touch or whimsey to the- easy-to-follow text. This is the perfect introduction to some of the Earth's most fascinating creatures. AUTHOR: Nathalie Ward, Tessa Morgan
