"A light-hearted approach to the problem of beached whales,
Humphrey's story allows librarians to give a happy 'yes' to that
often-asked question, 'Is this a true story?'"--"School Library
Journal"
"What happens to Humphrey makes a fascinating and delightful
story for young and old alike."--KIdsGrowth.com
"Humpback whales are magnificent creatures that sing beautiful
songs to each other underwater. In the whole world there are very
few of them, so each one is quite special.
And they are intelligent. Every winter they travel south, every
summer they head north, and they always know the way.
But even whales can make mistakes . . ."
In October 1985 a forty-five-foot long, forty-ton humpback whale
wandered into San Francisco Bay and for twenty-six days struggled
mightily to find his way back to the ocean. This true, illustrated
story of Humphrey's adventure has been a children's favorite for
more than twenty-five years. The 2014 edition has updated news on
whales but retains the beloved art and text for big-ocean-mammal
lovers everywhere. Adopted for Reading Rainbow.
