DESCRIPTION:
My six year old likes it I think it is a good book. My six year old son can read it independently. In the "Step into Reading" series I tend to like the biographies a little better than the science books. The science books don't provide quite enough information.. GREAT BOOKS FOR YOUNG READERS My son loved the Step Into Reading books when he was a new reader. You really can't go wrong with any of the books in this series. My son's favorite was Hungry Hungry Sharks. I bought this one for my 5 year old nephew who is crazy about Whales. This book is a must have for the young non-fiction reader in your life.. "Awesome Animals" according to A Customer. I thought this book was very informative and showed people what whales are really like, just gentles creatures under the ocean. I would recommend this book to anyone who would like to read more into the life of whales underwater. This book has made me really want to go whale watching to see what they really look like.
