I have read my damaged copy many times over. I don't know where I got it, but I'm sure it was used. I've had it as long as I know... I like it, obviously. It's not a perfect book but it's very, very good. It's also a short book, and excellent, good to read in a day. Ideally a day by the sea, of course.

5stars for maximum cheesiness! my fave bit: the price a singing whale pays when working under an orca herd's music management.

Like ferngully, but with sea life. quick read, might be good for kids, but I can think of better children's books with the same message. Rather play echo the dolphin. Nice idea though.
