ReviewsA marvelous overview of orcas and their place in history as well a chronicle of their challenges in the past and into the future., "Pages filled with photographs, impassioned narrative, "Orca Bites" (facts), and further research resources make this title one for all libraries.", Told in an accessible, conversational style, this is a book for children and adults to enjoy. It opened my eyes to so much I didn't know about orcas. It's also a real page-turner. Leiren-Young never condescends to his readers; he tells it like it is, and 'like it is' is not always pretty. But he gives hope for the future and offers up achievable steps we can take to help. This is, quite simply, an important and beautiful book., A valuable, extensive examination of what we've learned about orcas, filling a spot as an up-to-date reference among the many books in publication about this topic. Highly Recommended., The reader will certainly learn much about these fascinating, intelligent, and beautiful creatures, and hopefully will understand why they need to be protected., The subject is important and the text is engaging and appealing, with illustrations and helpful sidebars throughout., An amazingly accessible and fun book that explores our relationship with whales over millennia. The reality of their complex and intelligent behavior should give anyone pause in assuming human superiority., This informative non-fiction title will encourage a love of killer whales and all things aquatic. Readers will enjoy uncovering the mysteries of whales while proving they are not the monsters humans once thought them to be.
