Is a Blue Whale the Biggest Thing There Is?
by Robert E. Wells

Book Review

A blue whale, the biggest thing that ever lived, is a lot bigger than any elephant, horse, or lion. The painted page shows that clearly. But it’s NOT at all the biggest thing there is.

... Step by step we reach the Universe that holds all the galaxies, so amazingly big that no one knows what the WHOLE universe looks like. What we do know is that it’s a lot bigger than a blue whale. Imaginative young readers will surely enjoy this audacious little book. “Will it give you big ideas? You can count on it!”
