Dear Mr. Blueberry by Simon James is a lovely picture book written with imagination and humour. Each page is a letter either written to Mr. Blueberry by a small girl, or a response from him. One night, by the light of a moon, a girl sees a whale in the small pond in her backyard. Here's an excerpt:
Dear Emily,
I must point out to you quite forcibly now that in no way could a whale live in your pond. You may not know that whales are migratory, which means they travel great distances each day. I am so sorry to disapoint you.
Yours sincerely,
Mr. Blueberry
Dear Mr. Blueberry
Today I'm a little sad. Arthur has gone. I think your letter made sense to him and he has decided to be migratory again.
Love Emily
-I did not just give away the ending, don't worry!
