Over the course of their 70-year lifespan, sperm whales will easily travel the circumference of the Earth in search of food and the need to breed and find a mate. Males will travel as far north as the Bering Sea and as far south as Antarctica in order to find enough food to sustain their ways of liveโup to 700 squid a day! Along the way, these massive beasts battle 30-feet-long giant squids, and each other, to sustain their ways of life. National Geographic supports K-12 educators with ELA Common Core Resources.

This book is about Sperm Whales
My four and a half year old son is in love with whales right now. In particular he wants to see pictures of whales. We got him this book for Christmas as a part of a whale themed package and I have to say it's great. There are lots of pictures and because it's geared for a young reader it a fairly short book so we are able to read it to him. I will note however that this book it only about sperm whales which worked great for us since he's interested in learning about all whales. However, if you are looking for a book that covers multiple types of whales you may want to keep on looking.

Safe for Christian Homeschool families
I really like that National geographic sticks to the facts in this book. We believe in the infallible nature of scripture including the Genesis history. I understand that not everyone feels the same. So, as a publisher they have a dilemma. They could solve this in two ways...1 offend one group of people or 2 document as many observable facts about whales as possible in an age appropriate manner. They chose the latter option and thus I have bought many more children's books for my kids.

Wonderful issue. Was a hit as a Christmas gift.
My whale loving and soon to be three-year-old grandson found it to be something he liked. Or so I was told. Actually, I almost bought one for myself too as I do love whales as well. Soon, as time allows I will buy a subscription to Nat Geo's Kids Magazine (which this is) and He'll periodically receive additional issues. I've always recognized the quality in Nat Geo offerings.

Interesting book about sperm whales.
"Whales" is an informative book, but not as broadly about whales as I expected. It focuses almost exclusively on sperm whales. Perhaps that could have been reflected in the title. Just the same, my son enjoys it quite well.

Great Migrations Whales by National Geographic
This was a gift and all reports conclude that this book was a favorite. It was challenge to read, but not too hard for the student to understand and enjoy.

Great book low price
Love these national geographic books for kids. The price is very enticing. The book is informative and filled with beautiful pictures. National geographic books are good for educating children without them getting bored. Whenever we read this book my son always has lots of questions and is very involved in finding out what happens next.
