Description
Professor Whale is the only whale left at Whale Point. He thinks often of the old days when he and his friends competed at the Whale Point Olympics. One day, he gets a letter from Wally, a young whale, who has heard about the enormous whale who won gold for his spectacular spouting. That gets the Professor thinking. What if there could be a new Olympics, with the sea full of whales again? Correspondence flourishes across the horizons. The letters bring penguins, whales and seals together at the Whale Point Olympics, with friendship and humour winners on the day.
