“A swim with the cetacean clan adds another chapter to Davey’s long-running series of salutes to wild creatures. The author/illustrator fills the spaces between narrative blocks with an abundance of sea life, providing full-body and close-up views of over two dozen types of whales as well as images of their prey, from tiny krill to eels, seals, squid, and sharks. […] Elsewhere, sleek specimens twist, breach, hunt, or show off special features as the author lucidly lays out their shapes, behaviors, and unique qualities with a sure sense of what will catch the attention of his young audience. […] A crowd-pleaser, both verbally and visually.”
