“A palaeontological howdunnit…[Spying on Whales] captures the excitement of…seeking answers to deep questions in cetacean science.” —Nature Called “the best of science writing” (Edward O. Wilson) and named a best book by Popular Science, a dive into the secret lives of whales, from their four-legged past to their perilous present. Whales are among the largest, most intelligent, deepest diving species to have ever lived on our planet. They evolved from land-roaming, dog-sized creatures into animals that move like fish, breathe like us, can grow to 300,000 pounds, live 200 years and travel entire ocean basins. Whales fill us with terror, awe, and affection--yet there is still so much we don't know about them. Why did it take whales over 50 million years to evolve to such big sizes, and how do they eat enough to stay that big? How did their ancestors return from land to the sea--and what can their lives tell us about evolution as a whole? Importantly, in the sweepstakes of human-driven habitat and climate change, will whales survive? Nick Pyenson's research has given us the answers to some of our biggest questions about whales. He takes us deep inside the Smithsonian's unparalleled fossil collections, to frigid Antarctic waters, and to the arid desert in Chile, where scientists race against time to document the largest fossil whale site ever found. Full of rich storytelling and scientific discovery, Spying on Whales spans the ancient past to an uncertain future--all to better understand the most enigmatic creatures on Earth.
This story aims to show the way of living of the biggest animal in the world: the blue whale. Blue whales lead a lonely life spending most of the time on their own and rarely joining some other whales. The blue whale in this story admires the sun and all the beauty of the ocean. He faces danger and must protect himself. The blue whale is curious of other creatures such as people. He even makes some short friendships with a boy. But it never lasts too long as whales and a boy have quite different ways of living. And time to separate comes. Such a short friendship reminds the reader that the whale is made to lead a lonely life. Finally, the whale must do his duty and give birth to other whales. In real life, the blue whales never make a family for their whole life and babies are being raised by their moms.

He has to come back to his home as he is made to live a lonely life. However, he is the biggest animal in the world, lonely but beautiful and this beauty is seen in his movement, splashing, swimming, swallowing, and leading this simple lie in the dark waters. And that's what makes him so special, so interesting, so impressive and must be shown through the illustrations.
