The Wizards and the Whale is an important book for our time. 12 wizards receive a message asking for their help to save the world. All very different in nature, skills and culture. The wizards come together in respect of each other but with one sole purpose and that is the belief that together, through collaboration and skills, they can make a difference. This is an important life lesson and therefore an excellent book to be used in the classroom when exploring teamwork, respect and acceptance of differences. It is not just a story of community and teamwork, but one of difference and knowledge that together we are stronger, that changes can be made and that the world does need our help. In the present climate of environmental concern, this book is never more poignant. The beautiful illustrations of Jean Tori are symbolic of just how much wonder and colour the world can have in it, if we just work together. This book is loaded and layered with learning potential for any key stage 1 or 2 class. 40 pages / Ages 5-9 years / Reviewed by Louise Gahan, teacher

Suggested Reading Age 5+
