Life is quite serendipitous. Here I am slowly reading Moby Dick and along comes The Sea Mammal Alphabet. It's full of whales—I count sixteen out of the twenty-six animals pictured in the book, including Blue Whale, Fin Whale, Gray Whale, Humpback Whale, Melonhead (Beluga Whale), Pilot Whale, and, happily the Sperm Whale. It's a beautiful book, done all in lovely ocean colors of blues and greens, and it's stuffed with fascinating facts about these wonderful sea creatures.
