Sally and the Singing Whale

"Whales are monsters," Papa warns Sally. "They will eat you up!" This is the beginning of the story, a beautiful adventure that is sure to charm both children and parents. Sally is always in a good mood and sure to come out on top, but when she sneaks onto her father's ship, something unexpected happens -Sally is thrown overboard and swallowed by a whale! This heartwarming book is as exciting as it is layered. It is about a little girl's love for her father, her growing independence, and the beauty of the natural world. But it also touches on the fear of the unknown -a fear that, Sally learns, has nothing to do with reality.
