Review

A simple story of a small boy who lives on an island with his fisherman dad, and 6 cats. His dad goes to sea all day and his son remains home. After a storm,he finds a stranded young whale and quickly goes to work to save it- including bringing back to his house and putting it into the bathtub. He worries that his dad will be understanding of the situation. Davies heartwarming story told in simple, sparse text and in illustrations that reflect the life and bond the boy and his dad have with one another makes this a Keeper!
