Customer Reviews

A tale, of an adventuring whale - Rated 5/5
from the HOPSCOTCH book series.

From the back cover:-

`Willie the Whale woke early one day
and told all his friends he was going away....
So Willie sets off on a round-the-world adventure -
from the South Pole to the desert and even to New York.
But is the city really the place for a big, friendly whale?.......'

32 high quality shiny pages in the popular 2-page spread format.
Numbered pages with clear, easy-to-follow text.
Beautifully illustrated in vibrant colours throughout, this delightful book is further enhanced by relevant facial expressions and the rhyming element.

Example of text:-

`Willie the Whale woke early one day
and told all his friends he was going away....
to swim to the North, to the South, East and West
and maybe to stay in the place he liked best.
Willie's first stop was at the South Pole.
He swam under the ice and popped up through a hole......'
And, Willie does has some fun in all the other places he visits, but I wonder if you can guess where he chooses to stay?

`HOPSCOTCH has been specially designed to fit the requirements of the National Literacy Strategy. It offers real books by top authors and illustrators for children developing their reading skills.'

There are a number of `HOPSCOTCH' stories to choose from and these are listed on the very last page.


Willie offers a Whale of a read - Rated 5/5
There is no sterner critic of a childrens' book than a child, and mine is certainly head-over-heels with Willie.

The engaging illustrations of Willie splashing through the foam as he tours the world, meeting various startled creatures in different locations as he sets about deciding on "the place he likes best" coupled with the well paced text in excellent rhythmical rhyme make the book a delight. We originally got this from the library, but now it's time to shop for it - my 3 year old is going around quoting passages from the book with great passion.

Other favourites of hers include "Shaggy Dog and the Terrible Itch" (Tiger Press) and "Incidents in the Life of My Uncle Arly" both of which also boast engaging illustrations and interesting stories.


Willie The Whale - Rated 5/5
A lovely rhyming tale about Willie on his travels. Excellent text and delightful illustrations enable you to share some of the wonders of the world he visits along the way. A very enjoyable read for young children.
