Dive deep with Science Comics: Whales, a new and exciting volume of First Second's nonfiction graphic novel series!
Every volume of Science Comics offers a complete introduction to a particular topic—dinosaurs, the solar system, volcanoes, bats, robots, and more. Whether you're a fourth grader doing a natural science unit at school or a thirty-year-old with a secret passion for airplanes, these books are for you!
In this volume, Zip, an enthusiastic beaked whale, is eager to share everything he can about whale pods by broadcasting his very own undersea podcast! He will travel across the global ocean interviewing a diverse assortment of whales and dolphins about their amazing behaviors and habitats, as well as their interactions with the human world. Can this one small whale tell the story of the whole ocean and the interconnectivity that affects us all?

      When beaked whale Zip is tagged with an underwater microphone by "aliens" (i.e., human scientists), he decides to travel the ocean and interview different whale species. Brisk text is packed with facts about whale biology and behavior and climate change. Sly humor balances serious observations about ecological damage and the interconnected nature of life on Earth. Digital comic-panel illustrations employ simple line work with a mostly blue-green palette (shifting to eerie photo-negative colors for human encounters). Whale and "Human Impact" glossaries and suggestions for further reading are appended.
