ADELINA'S WHALES
by Richard Sobol
Adelina is a ten-year-old girl who lives in a quiet fishing village in Baja California, Mexico. Adelina has some very special friends-the gray whales-that come every year to spend the winter months and give birth to their calves in the protected lagoon near her home. This beautifully photographed photo-essay introduces young readers to a very special way of life, offering insights into the world of these giant mammals of the sea. 5 - 8 years
"Although readers get only a quick glimpse into each world — Adelina's and that of the whales — the glimpse is attractive and worthwhile."
