Orcas Forever was an intriguing book about pod life. We learned the eating habits and social rituals of these magnificent animals.
Any amount of care and concern people can give to sustain healthy lives of orcas is inspiring.
The photos are incredible and uplifting to my soul.
A very worthwhile read.

This is a great review that gives the reader a glimpse into what the book is about; the information in it, who it is suitable for and the fact that the information has a deeper message. Initially it seemed to be a very informative children's story but the information after the story is for anyone who is studying about Orca's , their lives and habitat. Or who simply wants to learn about these wonderful creatures. I learned new facts about Orca's from the book. The Illustrations are indeed beautiful. Loved the review and the book. 4 out of 4

I have never heard about Orcas. I will love to read about their lives in this story. It will be intriguing to learn about some sea creatures and life in the ocean.

Are orcas and dolphins one and the same? I see the title shows dolphins but we talking about orcas here. Anyways, as much as this is seems to be an interesting books especially for the young audience, I have no interest in learning about the marine life and their ecological impact so I shall pass on reading this book. Congratulations to the author on BOTD and thanks for this great review.

I have never read a book about ocean life. Honestly, I had no idea what an Orca was until I read a few pages of this book. This book sounds very interesting as well as educational. Great review.

A beautiful story of the journey and activity of Orcas. The illustrations really complement the story itself and are truly beautiful in their own right.

"Orcas Forever" by Marie-Paule Mahoney. An interesting book, tells the story of Orcas that moves around the sea. The Orca presence here on Earth has an advantage. This book expresses more of what they do, their behaviors, the way they feed and their communication, more like their lifespan. Their intelligence is just like the humans. Congrats on your #BOTD.

The book seems very interesting giving a really powerful message to kids to care about the endangered species and preserve their natural habitat. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

What a cool and lovely book! I'm always intrigued by the mysterious nature of the ocean. I agree that this book seems for everyone who admires sea creatures. not only entertaining and aesthetically pleasing read, this children's book is highly educational and suitable for both young and older readers. This book provides new insights into orcas' behaviour and the need to protect these majestic creatures. Nice review.

This book sounds intriguing, I don't usually read this kind of book because I get too angry at the humans and it hurts me too much to read about the suffering of any animal species. Somewhere I heard that Orcas are the daughters of a sea Goddess. I like to think they really are.
If this book is for young adults, I might end up reading and buying it.

I’m looking forward to digging into this novel to learn about orcas especially the two name Sequim and Lea as they face the challenges at sea. This is an interesting and informative book and one that is right up my alley.

I agree this is a wonderful book that introduces the family life of the Orcas. The illustrations are extremely detailed and expressive. There is so much to learn about these fascinating creatures of the deep and this book attempts a small glimpse of their mysterious life.
