This is a nice book on whales and is very informative. It's a good level 3 book and our 6 year old enjoys looking at the pictures as well as reading about whales. We of course love that he"s learning!
I think it is a good book. My six year old son can read it independently. In the "Step into Reading" series I tend to like the biographies a little better than the science books. The science books don't provide quite enough information.
Great nonfiction book about whales. My son reads at a 2nd grade level and had an easy time reading this informational book. I highly recommend for an early reader.
I thought this book was very informative and showed people what whales are really like, just gentles creatures under the ocean. I would recommend this book to anyone who would like to read more into the life of whales underwater. This book has made me really want to go whale watching to see what they really look like.
My son loved the Step Into Reading books when he was a new reader. You really can't go wrong with any of the books in this series. My son's favorite was Hungry Hungry Sharks. I bought this one for my 5 year old nephew who is crazy about Whales. This book is a must have for the young non-fiction reader in your life.
My son is starting 2nd grade in the fall and these Step 2 books are perfect for him! The Whales book is both informative, which he loved, and at the exact level that he needs! I highly recommend this book along with the other step 2 books!
I bought this book for my grandson who is 7 years old. He loves all water animals. He enjoyed this book very much!
