Jimmy & the Whale Ralph Vogel

Life in the 1940s was hard enough with the war in Europe, the Depression, and nature playing tricks on farmers. How can one ten-year-old boy cope with all that plus a pesky little sister and a neighboring bully? Jimmy finds help in an unlikely form--a whale. That is, an unusual friend by the name of Jonas T. Whale. This tale of Kansas farm life, although written for children, will appeal to readers of all ages.
