A mulberry sky full of flashes and rumbles.
An ocean alive as it rises and tumbles.
And there, ’neath the waves of a stormy Atlantic,
There lives a blue whale, and his name is Gigantic.

Meet Gigantic, the smallest blue whale in the Atlantic. Dwarfed by the others in the pod, Gigantic keeps to himself, making new friends and perfecting his somersaults and flips in the bay. But one day when Gigantic’s brother, Titan, gets stuck on the sand, it’s down to Gigantic and his smallest sea creature friends to save the day. Can they show it’s possible to be tiny and tough?

A swimmingly good story about little fins and big hearts.
Perfect read-aloud fun for children aged 4+.
