This book is about journey of a humpback whale.
Main character of it is Triton. He always had spent all winter in the warm water of the Caribbean Sea, but there wasn't much food in it, so he was hungry and would swim to the far north of the Atlantic Ocean for food. He moved his mighty tail up and down with swish when he swam. On his way, he met his friend, Spoon, and they swam together. They took a rest after swimming and playing, but Triton was only half asleep because part of his brain had to keep awake to swim to the surface to take a breath of air. Triton swam farther north and arrived. It had taken him 35 days to swim about 3000 kilometers from the Caribbean Sea to the cold water of Canada. He could eat as much fish as he liked.
I could know many things about whales. For example, they have special markings under their flukes and they can hold their breath under water for about 30 minutes but they usually swim to the surface every 4 to 10 minutes. There are many beautiful pictures in this book, so I could enjoy reading it.
