Join them as they travel along the east coast of Australia, meeting marine creatures.

The Voyage of Whale and Calf explores humpback whale migration – plunge below the surface to learn more about the lives of these magnificent marine mammals! Reading level varies from child to child, but we recommend this book for ages 6-9
"Readers will learn about breeding, feeding, communication, food chains and some of the threats faced by whales. Non-fiction information is softened by lyrical descriptions – ‘painting a picture’ rather than just recounting the facts. Samantha Metcalfe specialises in wildlife illustration, and this is evident in the detail and realism of her illustrations." - CBCA Reading Time
