Reviews
The illustrations in this wordless picture book are absolutely phenomenal! You'll love this wordless story about a boy and his father out fishing for the day who come across a whale in need of some help. Even when it's inconvenient for them, the father jumps out and helps the whale, who gives the man and boy and nice thank you when he's free. :)
