The children's book Humphrey the Lost Whale tells an amazing tale of a community joining together for a common cause. Read this book with your class, making connections between the events in the story and personal experiences of young learners. A range of extension activities are provided, from drawing pictures of the communities students are involved in to researching animal rescue organizations. A great lesson that instills in children the importance of community and the ability to work with others.
