If You Want to See a Whale by Julie Fogliano

5.0

Extremely sweet fantastical quiet read-aloud picture book about patience and attention, perfect for our whale-loving little girl. Ideal bed-time book without being 'bedtime-ey'.

My favorite part:
"if you want to see a whale
you'll have to just ignore the roses
and all their pink
and all their sweet
and all their wild and their waving
because roses don't want you watching whales
or waiting for
or wondering about
things that are not pink
and things that are not sweet
and things that are not roses"
