WHIMSICAL TALES 
by Lucia Alberti, author and illustrator

                     

Willy the whale is not your ordinary whale--he's young, curious, and friendly. Born in the icy waters of the far North, Willy begins his first great journey, swimming past towering icebergs, playful sea lions, and polar bears on the shore. Following the ancient trail of his ancestors, he heads south toward the warm, blue water of the ocean. Along the way, Willy meets sea turtles, schools of shimmeringfish, and even a group of friendly mermaids near tropical islands--where hula girls wave as he glides by! But the deeper he goes, the more there is to discovery--hidden caverns, mysterious creatures, and the magic of life beneath the waves. With each new splash and swirl, Willy finds the courage to explore a world far beyond home. A storybook for explorers and ocean dreamers alike.
