Good review. I wish you would have told us slightly more about the plot. I love that the book addresses the endangerment of species. It makes for a good read for kids.

Congrats on BOTD!
The extent to which our routine behaviors harm the environment and put magnificent animals like orcas in peril is astounding. The author conducted their study, beautifully showing the incredible and noteworthy graphics and so accomplishing the goal of informing the reader. Sea species like the imperiled orcas must be protected.

I absolutely agree with you! Your review beautifully captures the essence of Orcas Forever and highlights the author's ability to shed light on the current situation of orcas. The mention of the mysterious nature of the ocean and the intelligence of dolphins piqued my curiosity. I'm definitely intrigued and would love to delve into the world of these magnificent creatures. Great review.

This book is very interesting for school-age children. Admittedly, I didn't know a lot of facts about orcas either, but reading the book I also learned something new. I was very sad when the orca lost her baby, but that's why she kept the other baby. Photos that have been used are very beautiful. "Orcas are always hungry" is my favorite sentence in this book. It is a perfect book, without any mistakes, so I recommend both children and adults to read it. Good review 4/4

I agree with you that the book appears to be a well-written and aesthetically pleasing read, with the illustrations adding to the overall reading experience. It's great to hear that the book provides new insights into the behavioral dynamics of orcas and that the author highlights the importance of environmental conservation and the need to protect these fascinating creatures.

It's also interesting to note that the book is suitable for both younger and older readers, making it an excellent educational resource for those interested in marine biology, animal behavior, or environmental conservation. Overall, your review provides a convincing recommendation for readers of all ages to pick up this book and learn more about the world of orcas.

Books like this, especially about animals such as orcas, which to many look very intimidating, tell us that there is a whole universe, hidden in the ocean, living and existing with its own rules. Nice review.

"Orcas Forever" is a short narrative about orcas and their group. This children's book is highly educational and should be introduced in schools. The phrase "Hope is a waking dream," suggests/means that hope shares similarities with dreams experienced while awake. Just as dreams can evoke strong emotions and create imaginative scenarios, hope can inspire and motivate individuals.
There are many things a kid can learn while reading this book, it gives knowledge just like other books. It is interesting and its illustrations were great, a book like this one can even pique children's curiosity about sea creatures.

'Orcas Forever' by Marie-Paule Mahoney is a beautifully illustrated story of a pod of orcas, revealing their behaviors and the dangers they face. This book isn't just a charming read - it's a call to action for the preservation of these majestic creatures. Congratulations on being BOTD!

Really good book for children with mesmerizing illustraions. I have always been interested in orcas and this book gives a insight into their behaviour how they raise their offsprings. This book does seem for children but its for everyone who admires sea creatures.
