About The Book

Grade 1-3 — Lilly’s grandmother tells tales of singing whales who came from miles away in answer to a child’s desire to see them dance across the waves. One night, Lilly hears the whales and watches breathlessly as they “leaped and jumped and spun across the moon.” Then, waking from what she thinks is a dream, she hears them call her name. Sheldon’s brief story seems to be a celebration of the joys of fantasy and the belief in magical happenings. It is enriched by Blythe’s wonderfully evocative paintings, which range from warm, realistic close-up portraits to dramatically moonlit seascapes. But beyond the pleasures of the dreamlike mood, the book has little substance. There is no deeper level of meaning, no foundation is offered for the idea that whales are magical, and certainly in the dolphinlike behavior of the whales there is no information on the actual habits and habitats of these wondrous creatures of the deep. — Shirley Wilton, Ocean County College, Toms River, NJ
