Did you know that over the course of their 70-year life span, sperm whales will easily travel the circumference of the Earth in search of food? Along the way, these massive beasts battle 30-feet-long giant squids, and each other, in order to sustain their ways of life. Find out all about the life journey of sperm whales in this fascinating and carefully levelled National Geographic Kids Level 4 photographic book.
