이 지구상에 존재했던 동물 중 가장 큰 동물은 무엇일까요? 이 질문에 대해 대부분은 주저없이 공룡을 떠올리지만, 정답은 바로 이 책의 주인공인 청고래입니다.
청고래는 몸길이가 30미터, 몸무게가 무려 150톤이나 나갑니다. 여름에는 주로 북극이나 남금에 살면서 크릴이라는 조그만 새우들을 잡아먹지만, 겨울에는 따듯한 적도부근 바다로 이동을 합니다....
이 책에는 청고래의 생김새, 크기, 먹이, 소리, 냄새, 출산, 이동, 수명, 습성 등을 쉽고 재미있는 문장과 물감을 이용한 아름다운 펜화 그림으로 보여줍니다.

Annotation
Examines the physical characteristics, habits, and habitats of the blue whale.
Children's Literature
Facts about the Blue Whale are presented in a graphic and interesting way. Davies reports on their size, blowholes, breathing, eating and traveling habits, in addition to other items about these huge creatures of the ocean. Kids are invited to take an informative journey with this magnificent marine mammal. - Leila Toledo
School Library Journal
Small human figures make occasional comic appearances in the pictures, but this handsome slim volume is an informative introduction to the life of "the biggest creature that has ever lived on Earth." In an effective opening double-page scene, a young man and woman reach up toward an elephant and a giraffe, all of them standing next to the tail end of the whale, demonstrating its enormous size. Davies offers simple, lively descriptions of the blue whale's body, eating habits, child care, migration, and means of communication. "Yet, the blue whale may not be as lonely as it seems. Because sometimes it makes a huma hum so loud and so low that it can travel for thousands of miles through the seas to reach other blue whales." Maland's cross-hatched pen-and-ink drawings, washed in soft tones of blue, gray, aqua, and orange, sometimes appear as smaller, blocked scenes, but more often they fill the double-page spreads with bits of caption gracefully curving around related picture elements. A simple index appears at the front of the book, doubling as a table of contents. Some libraries may assign this to the picture-book shelves, where it will be read as a true-life story, but it will serve equally well as nonfiction. It's a pleasing choice for reading aloud or for classroom use.
Kirkus Reviews
Conversational text and soft, crosshatched pen-and-ink illustrations ebb and flow in a fluid look at the largest mammal ever to inhabit the earth.
Invoking the senses, Davies describes the blue whale's physical attributes in irresistible, crystalline terms. Its skin is "springy and smooth like a hard-boiled egg, and it's as slippery as wet soap." The enormity of the blue whale comes into focus in the illustrations that place it next to a giraffe and an elephant, bringing it into the everyday realm of children. The scale of this leviathan becomes even clearer when Davies notes that its eyes are the size of teacups and its ears are no larger than the end of a pencil. She covers its yearly migration, and its diet of 30 million tiny krill in just a day. Undulating bold text provides auxiliary facts that complement the main story. Effective use of shrinking and expanding typeface and the inclusion of two human observers accentuate the proportional vastness of both the creature and its ocean. This unassuming book is teeming with new discoveries upon each rereading.
