TRAPPED! A WHALE'S RESCUE

Narrator George Guidall's rich voice is a pleasure to listen to as he captures the majesty of humpback whales traveling in the vast oceans. He sets the scene with drawn-out phrases punctuated by musical and aquatic sound effects. When the whale is entwined in a net of thin threads, struggling to free herself, he alternates his broad narration with clipped and urgently voiced phrases. In the final section, detailing her rescue, Guidall adds an authoritative tone. Listeners will share Guidall's wonder in the amazing climax. The production concludes with information on the event that inspired the book, humpback whales, whale rescue, whale song, and the importance of protecting marine life.
