The Whale Who Wanted More | Rachel Bright
1 post | 1 read
An adorable board book edition of this stunning undersea tale filled with friendship, community and discovery from the bestselling creators of The Lion Inside. Under glittering waves of a vast ocean blue, a beautiful world is hidden from view. And there, in the cool and the quiet of the deep, a great, gentle giant was stirring from sleep . . . Humphrey the whale is on a quest: to find the one perfect object that will make him feel complete. He roams far and wide, gathering endless undersea treasure as he goes. Yet, no matter how many goodies he accumulates, Humphrey still doesn't feel content. Could it be friendship, not possessions, that will really make Humphrey's heart sing? A sparkling rhyming tale that encourages sharing and kindness, this heartwarming story of friendship is perfect for reading aloud.

Apparently, Rachel Bright is one of my favourite picture book authors. I didn‘t even know I had such a thing!

In perfect rhyme, this is the story of a dissatisfied materialistic whale whose stuff loses its shine as soon as he acquires it, and a bright little crab who suggests what might make him feel better.

rockpools Love the illustrations too. I don‘t remember many underwater books that play so effectively with dark and light. Beautiful and fun, with lots of intricate little touches.

Ideal for maybe 4-6 years, this would be great for a Storytime session about stuff, or gift-giving, or kindness.
