For every pet-loving child desperate for a new addition to the family, check out How To Walk A Whale . This colourful picture book is a super fun introduction to pets, standard ones and the ones a little out of the ordinary!
Granny thinks bigger is better, and though I'm not sure Mummy will agree, they create a poster to find their perfect pet - a whale! A blue whale, no less, the biggest whale in the ocean and the biggest mammal on Earth. As they learn to understand what whales eat, what they like and don't like, we see how important it is for pets to be understood and what being a good pet owner entails.
This is another adorable book in this picture book series from Sam Wilde and Sarah Horne and like How to Feed an Elephant , How to Bath a Giraffe and How to Cuddle a Crocodile , it's a great addition to your bookshelf for young animal lovers. With lots of facts about blue whales, it's an education too. Did you know that the heart of a whale is about the size of a small car? Wow!
I'm not sure I want a whale as my pet after all, no matter how cool they are, but I do want a Granny like hers.
What would really happen if your pet was a blue whale? The answer might surprise you!
Read the full description
Did you know that blue whales eat up to four tons of food a day? Or that they swim halfway around the world every year? Feeding and exercising this pet might be more of a challenge than you bargained for. Having a pet is a big responsibility, and that idea is pushed to extremes in this delightfully funny picture-book series.
How to Feed an Elephant , How to Bath a Giraffe , How to Cuddle a Crocodile and How to Walk a Whale are perfect for any child who has dreamed of a peculiar pet, and is curious about animals and the natural world.
Sam Wilde lives in the jungle, the deepest oceans, and the vast desert plains. Sam loves making friends with animals, learning all about them, and making up stories about all the fun things they’d get up to together. The wilder the better!
