Review of Orcas Forever

A book full of interesting illustrations only invites readers to it. I'm interested in these illustrations that tell a story of their own. The orcas are beautiful animals if they are the ones on the book cover. Good review.

This book seems to have so much knowledge about orcas. I like reading about animals. So I'll find this read satisfying, especially if it gives me new information I've not come across before. Nice review.

I've always had this immense love and admiration for Whales and dolphins. After I read about three pages of this book, I realised it was all about Orcas and was beyond excited. I had watched a few video clips on whales, skarks and dolphins including Orcas. But I didn't know a lot about their natural habitat or how they operated.
I was really impressed when I got to know the Orcas run a matriarchal system. It's lovely how a mother Orca takes care of her calf and how matriarchs lead the entire pod and ensure their safety. It also amazed me that they use echolocation to interact with each other.
It's really sad that they are endangered and human actions are causing them harm.
If you didn't know about these Killer Whales then this book will tell you everything you need to know. It's really wholesome.
Thanks for this great review!

Review is very moving for those trying to bring awareness of species and their habits to try to help preservation. Appreciation of the species is well presented.

Human actions are always endangering animals. I didn't know of the orca's relation to the dolphins until now. Since this book was written with children as the audience, it means the ideas in it will be easily comprehensible. Great review.

I think it's great that the author wrote this book to teach kids about the importance animals play in our ecosystem. I don't read children's books, so I'll skip this one.

This would be a great book to tie together reading comprehension and science. I can see a number of ways this book can be use with children to expand their knowledge and understanding of the world and specifically ocean mammals.

Definitely the illustrations in 'Orcas Forever' tell a story of their own. Although written for a young audience, this book can be enjoyed by anyone interested in orcas and sea life.

What a little gem of a book! Marie Paule Mahoney has scored a hit with me. I knew hardly anything about Orcas before but now I feel so much empathy and awe at these amazing creatures' family and communal bonds. It breaks my heart to learn that their numbers are dwindling. And not least, I was very impressed by the illustrations by Ginger Triplett. A stellar job, Ladies.

What a nice suggestion, an illustrated book about killer whales that will be promising, thank you very much for this review.
Readings about awareness about nature and revealing messages to raise awareness will always be a great recommendation for me.

Taking care of the planet is the responsibility of everyone who lives on it. It is nice to see that the author wrote a book about orcas that children and adults alike can read to learn how they behave. Thanks for the review!

The cover of this children's book about Orcas is stunning and beautiful. I hope this book helps all children and adults understand that human beings are not superior over the ecosystem, but have to function as part of the ecosystem. Great review!

I had no idea that orca pods even existed before. I'm certain that reading this book will educate readers on a variety of orca behaviors.

This book brings to light the lives of orcas and their habits, making it fun and interesting to learn. Both kids and adults could enjoy this. Congrats on BOTD!
