The Boy and the Whale by Mordicai Gerstein
3.0

A boy and his father find a whale caught in their fishing net. The father is furious at the loss of the net, the family’s source of income. However, the boy recalls a time when he was caught in the fishing net and is determined to help the whale. A wonderful picture book to illustrate empathy and perseverance. Recommended for 2-5th grade.
