Summary:

"The amazing migration of humpback whales, explored through lyrical language, fascinating infographics, and colorful art. Come meet the humpback whales: we'll travel with them from the Antarctic to the Colombian Pacific, back where they were born. Let's learn about how their fins help them swim, how long they can live, why and how they sing, how their calves grow up, and how they fit into the baleen whale family. As we migrate with these marine mammals, we'll discover the joy of sharing our planet with these incredible creatures. Created in collaboration with humpback whale researchers, this browsable book welcomes readers to follow the animals for their full adventure or enjoy a few intriguing facts along the way. Journey of the Humpbacks is the perfect read for aspiring marine biologists, avid whale-watchers, and anyone who's ever dreamed of diving beneath the waves"-- Provided by publisher.
