Long ago, whales could eat anything – and they did. Then one day, everything changed. This story, adapted from one of Rudyard Kipling’s ‘Just So Stories’ has been specially written for children who are learning to read, with colourful illustrations on each page and puzzles and fun facts about whales at the back of the book.

It was sad he ate all the fish, but I was happy he’s not greedy anymore!

I really enjoyed this fiction book. I think it's for younger children. I had fun completing the puzzles at the end of the book and looking at the sea creatures, the funny looking octopus she has a triangle head.

“I loved it when he saw the last fish in the see. I was scared when he ate the man because whales aren’t meant to eat men” I would recommend this book

It told me how the whale couldn't eat big fish anymore he could only eat little fish. I really liked it.
