This Morning I Met a Whale by Sir Michael Morpurgo

This Morning I Met a Whale by Sir Michael Morpurgo

A fictional account of the day a whale swam up the Thames, in which the whale makes an environmental plea to the boy who first sees him.

The story emphasises the importance of the child as the guarantor of the futureIt is a beautifully produced book with dreamy, soft-focused illustrations of the Thames and the whale’s damning pictures of environmental damage. A great starting point for environmental discussion in the senior primary classroom. * Inis Magazine *
