Personal Comments/Biases, and/or Things to Consider When Using This Book With Children:
It's a little wierd to hear about seals molesting eachother but the book has some good advice, asuming the child has a wise whale in their life.
Activity:
Stop the book after the sad song and ask the child what they would do and then read on to see how that compares to what No-No did.
