This is a nice story with lots of information about grey whales and their migrations. Too much text for a read aloud, but a great resource for elementary age kids interested in whales and the ocean.

A great book about the story of a whale, teaching about a little baby whale from birth through it's first journey north. There are just so many dangers for one little whale to encounter!
A bit long, and with a much more grown-up text than can hold a small child's fancy, my toddler was more interested in flipping about the book while I read, checking out the various pictures in cool greens and blues.

Little Gray the whale is born, learns to swim and dive in the ocean, and accompanies his mother on the migration from Baja California to the Arctic feeding grounds. Includes a map showing the whales' migration route.
