Review
Oversized, gorgeous book, essentially wordless though bookended by newspaper clippings that provide the background and final outcome of the story. The elusive spotted whale is believed to be a myth, but one boy and one girl are determined to find proof of its existence. Using instruments, ingenuity, and, ultimately, teamwork, they persevere and acquire the needed proof. Great for STEAM units and story writing, plus absolutely stunning to look through, the Murrow siblings have a winner here. Recommended for Cream.
