"You Wouldn't Want to Sail on a 19th Century Whaling Ship" is a wonderful book, both informative and hilarious. Though it is clearly intended for a younger audience then I what I will be teaching, it would really be very ideal for middle schoolers, though high school might also use it, though chiefly for pictures to illustrate reports and for the definitions provided for terms.

Though mostly the legendary tale of the whaling ship "Essex", which would be attacked by a giant whale, causing her crew to engage in cannibalism in order to survive a lifeboat voyage back to civilization, and thus inspire Herman Melville's "Moby Dick", it serves as an example example of 19th century whaling. Also, for younger students teaching them using an example, rather than speaking in large generalities I find would be most helpful in making an impression on them. To this end, I also applaud the authors for having a young boy serve as the Essex's and the books narrator. The students will be able to identify with the young Thomas Nickerson and learn with him as he learns all about 19th century whaling.

I really enjoyed this book and plan on adding a copy of it to both my personal collection and to my growing classroom collection.(less) ( )
