Onboard a vessel that would make Jacques Cousteau green with envy, the Cat and Co. take to the high seas in search of 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 ecolocation, 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!“The Cat in the Hat’s Learning Library shows young readers that books can be entertaining and educational at the same time. This is a wonderful series!” —Barbara Kiefer, Ph.D., Charlotte S. Huck Professor of Children’s Literature, Ohio State University

My 2 year old LOVES this book- he knows how to identify whales and dolphins of all types now and can do so even from random stickers or drawings he sees somewhere else. As a parent who has to read it everyday, its entertaining and you won't get bored...too much :-)

This book from The Cat in the Hat Learning Library "A Whale of a Tale" is definitely packed full of information. It's not really for the younger audience as I tried to read it to my three year old at bedtime and she kind of got bored and would rather have went to bed then reading it. Because of this I had to reinforce some of the information they were given to her such as telling her which kind of porpoises were which and exaggerating some of the working like "oh my goodness look how big that is!" Anyway it's still a very nice book and a definite great addition to the rest of our Cat in the Hat learning library witches extensively accumulating. Definitely a good book for a new reader.Thanx

This is another in the series of the Cat in The Hat science books, and we were excited to get this as our 3YO really enjoyed the books in this series that we had to date. I am happy to say that this had just the same reaction with our little one when we got it for his birthday. he enjoyed the initial reading of the book and it has inspired him to ask a lot of other questions about the information in the book, which is just what we wanted to happen when we bought him this

Dr. Suess books are always a big hit with my son. We have themed weeks for our homeschooling Montessori setup at home. We used these during our Ocean week. A Whale of a Tale was a fun book to read to my son. He really enjoyed reading this book. It was a great addition to our library and I am glad I bought it.

My 3.5 year old son got this book for Christmas along with the Wild Republic's 15" Beluga Whale (he's currently in a whale phase). This is a great book - well written and tells you all you need to know about Dolphins, Porpoises and Whales. He loves reading it at bedtime while cuddled with his stuffed whale. I actually don't mind reading it either - I learned the difference between dolphins and porpoises from this book!

We have read this book over 100 times. We all love it. We went on a whale watch after reading this and did not learn anything from the whale watch we hadn't already learned in this book. Its fun, enjoyable and full of great information. My favorite in the Cat in the Hat knows a Lot about That books.

THESE DR. SEUSS FISH BOOKS ARE WONDERFUL. I ORIGINALLY BOUGHT THEM FOR A SEASIDE CONDO, BUT WAS SO CHARMED BY THEM MYSELF, THAT I ORDERED THE ENTIRE SET. I LEARNED SOME THINGS TOO. GREAT GREAT BOOKS, TOLD IN DR. SEUSS'S WONDERFUL WAY.

This is a wonderful introduction to Whales, Porpoises, and Dolphins for children. Is is filled with scientific facts that are fun to learn because of the delightful rhyme. My four-year-old daughter loves the book and likes to have it read to her often. Even better, it has sparked an interest in these animals which has led to trips to museums, the library, and an aquarium for more study.
