Ms. Stewart reveals how vital a whale's death is to a myriad of sea creatures. Enlarged inserts of the creatures support the text and help the reader comprehend. In the back Ms. Stewart provides more information about each of the creatures mentioned (scientific name, size, diet, predators, life span, & field note).
A fascinating topic! This picture book will appeal to elementary students.
