Publisher's Notes
The ancestors of whales were furry four-legged animals. As they found it easier and safer to catch fish than to hunt on land, they waded deeper and deeper into the water to find their food. Little by little, they evolved: their bodies became long and tapered, forelegs became flippers and hind legs disappeared. Yet whales have much in common with their ancestor. In her uniquely poetic presentation of science, Faith McNulty asks, do whales still love the sun?
