"Must read" 5-Star Reedsy Review

"A deeply adorable and educational story about a blue whale and his friends as they try to save a friend in time for a birthday celebration...Children can learn so much from this educational book. There are so many things to discover about the different kinds of whales...young ones will also learn about protecting the environment. This book will be a good channel of information about the harmful practices that can be prevented to preserve the earth's ecological balance.

The illustrations of this book are so adorable that children will find it a joy to read every page of it! Even after reading the book, they would love to turn its pages over and over so that they can immerse themselves in Hank's whimsical world. Parents and children can spend an enjoyable time reading this book together. It is an opportunity to teach children not only about caring for other creatures but also about what friendship is all about...Through Hank and his friends, the young ones can learn what teamwork means. They will appreciate the gifts that one can use to help others in one's special way. I recommend this book to young ones who love reading about whales and other kinds of sea creatures. It is a fun-filled book that's very educational and inspiring at the same time!"

"One can appreciate The Big Birthday for Blue Whale for its fascinating explanation about the various types of whales and the challenges of the ocean and effects that can be sometimes caused by people. Truly the most rewarding part is how throughout the story the theme of friendship comes to life as Hank's friends come together, to problem solve, cooperate and use teamwork to help one of their own in need of rescue, all thanks to Hank's Big Birthday."
