Product Description
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2-- The song about this small, white whale has as its hero probably the best loved of all Raffi's creations. Children who are learning about the interdependence of all life on Earth, and of the crucial importance of preserving the fragile environment, will get a first, cheerful lesson about the natural world by becoming acquainted with enchanting Baby Beluga, swimming wild and free with his mother in the deep blue sea. He and his friends are somewhat anthropomorphic, in the interests of cuddliness, but this does the message no harm . The illustrations are a joy to behold, and the song has a rhythm and rhyme that make it easy to remember and sing. --Joan McGrath, Education Centre Library, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

I loved this book as a child and I bought it for my soon to be niece or nephew. Its a song turned into a book by the children's artist Raffi. If you've never heard the song, go into youtube and find it. You won't be sorry. Children love this! :)

We learned the song and then we bought the book - the illustrations are wonderful and we can sing along with the book which makes everything even better - great book.

There are very few words on each page with simple drawings. Had music score at back which is a nice addition. Matches Raffi song buy same name.
