The anticipation of summer vacation can put anyone in a great mood with the excitement of adventures to be had–especially at the beach. But what is a group of friends to do when they discover mysterious men poaching whale teeth at the beach?
EXCERPT:
The lifeguards had their arms extended and attempted to move the crowd back. The tallest lifeguard said, “People, please stay back. The authorities will arrive to examine the whale to determine the cause of death within the hour. The whale must have died at sea and washed ashore.”

A Sandy Grave by Donna M. McDine
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
What a remarkable book for your kids (and you, too). Poaching is something that children and adults don’t often comprehend. This book’s illustrations and simple (and realistic) story does an exceptional job of telling the correct story and covering all the issues. I highly recommend this story for combined reading as we discover what our responsibilities are in every area of animal protection. And after all, who couldn’t love a whale?
I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.
