A Whale of a Tale!

Fans of the PBS preschool science show The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That! (which is based on The Cat in the Hat's Learning Library^™ ) won't want to miss this cooing addition to the series! This book takes an off-beat look at nature and natural sciences through a fun combination of Seussian rhymes and zany illustrations.

Jacques Cousteau would be green with envy if he could see The Cat in the Hat's vessel. Join The Cat in the Hat and company as they take to the high seas in search of cetaceans and experience their wild adventure also. Help them search for whales, dolphins, and porpoises — those aquatic mammals known as cetaceans. While learning how cetaceans stay warm without hair, have teeth or baleen, swim in troops, spyhop, spin, breach, and see via echolocation, kids are introduced to almost 20 different species — including sperm, right, humpback, and blue whales; Gulf, spectacled, and finless porpoise; and boto, common, hourglass, and bottlenose dolphins. A shipshape selection for summer reading!

Aimed at early readers - from four to seven - the books are designed to bridge the gap between concept books written for preschoolers and more formal non-fiction titles that require fluent reading skills.
