The story tells you about different types of fish and what makes each one different ... I give this book 10 out 10 and my little sister Kate really liked it too. She's 5 years old

Gerry Daly, illustrator of the hugely popular Where are you Puffling? takes another dip into Irish waters with Finn's First Song ... This "whaley big adventure " takes a similar tack to Puffling's solo travels around the Skelligs, with Finn the humpback whale becoming separated from his parents during his first journey to the Irish coast. Too young to have developed effective whale communication, Finn turns to other sea creatures for help, but the advice given by the jelly fish, squid, and dolphins he encounters fails to locate Finn's family. Necessity is the mother of invention, however, and Finn summons all his power to let out a sound sequence rarely if ever seen in print. "Thwop! thwop! whoop, whoop, whoop, dwooooooooerp! dwooooooooerp!" goes his first whale song - and if that doesn't inspire some expressive sound effects from the adults reading this book aloud to children, then nothing ever will
