Beluga Whales


Beluga Whales by Ann O. Squire is a non-fiction book from Scholastic. It is a good resource for children that need to research about marine life, sea creatures, mammals, or just animals in general. The book is filled with many beautiful, clear, and up close photographs of different types of whales. As the text explains specific characteristics of a certain type of whale, the reader can refer to the photograph to see exactly what is being described. Words in bold print are listed at the end of the book on an "important words" list. Researchers can use the table of contents to decide what chapter they want to explore to find the information they are looking for. This book is more beneficial for students that have experience with non-fiction.
