What would really happen if your pet was a blue whale? The answer might surprise you!
Did you know that blue whales eat up to four tons of food a day? Or that they swim halfway around the world every year? Feeding and exercising this pet might be more of a challenge than you bargained for.
Having a pet is a big responsibility, and that idea is pushed to extremes in this delightfully funny picture-book series. How to Feed an Elephant, How to Bath a Giraffe, How to Cuddle a Crocodile and How to Walk a Whale are perfect for any child who has dreamed of a peculiar pet, and is curious about animals and the natural world.

Reviews / Votes
"adorable picture book...The idea of having a pet, and just what is entailed in that, is pushed to hilarious extremes as creative illustrator Horne lets loose her imagination on Wilde's warm-hearted and fun-filled story. And if meeting a very wild and peculiar pet wasn't enough, you can learn more fascinating facts about blue whales in a section at the back of the book." * The Lancashire Post * "For every pet-loving child desperate for a new addition to the family, check out How To Walk A Whale. This colourful picture book is a super fun introduction to pets, standard ones and the ones a little out of the ordinary!" * Love Reading 4 Kids *More details
