This audiobook features music and special effects. Listen along and enjoy the fun that is Young Zoologist:
Humpback Whale.

Head to the depths of the ocean to study humpback whales in this beautiful nonfiction field guide for kids.

You may know that humpback whales use whale song to communicate with each other, but there’s so much more to discover about these giants of the sea! In this book, acclaimed marine biologist Dr. Asha de Vos explains how humpbacks use special bubble nets to catch fish, and why their poo is so important!

Filled with simple science and plenty of animal facts, this book also explains how hunting made humpback whales an endangered species—and how conservation efforts have seen their numbers increase again.

Humpback Whale (Young Zoologist) is part of an exciting new series of animal books from Neon Squid aiming to inspire the next generation of biologists and conservationists.

A Macmillan Audio production from Neon Squid.

Dr. Asha de Vos is an award-winning Sri Lankan marine biologist who has pioneered whale research in the Indian Ocean. She is a TED Senior Fellow and founder of Oceanswell, a marine conservation organization.

Neon Squid creates beautiful nonfiction books for inquisitive kids (and kids at heart). We believe the most amazing stories are real ones, so our books are for children who want to decipher ancient scrolls, orbit distant stars, and dive into the deepest oceans. Our books are a labor of love—written by experts, illustrated by the best artists around, and produced using the finest materials, including sustainably sourced paper. We hope that by reading them kids are encouraged to further explore the world around them.
