Danny, a young boy fascinated by the ocean, decides to take a small boat out into the ocean for a little adventure. As he rows farther and farther away from shore, he gets a glimpse of how the food chain works--shrimp eating plankton, tuna eating the shrimp, and bigger fish eating the tuna. He`s having lots of fun, but then a huge humpbacked whale shows up and knocks Danny`s boat over! Afraid he might end up as the whale`s lunch, he starts swimming as fast as he can. Will he be able to swim for safety? With vivid color illustrations throughout.
