An adorable white whale tries to make new friends with hilarious results! From New Yorker cartoonist Lars Kenseth. Perfect for fans of Jory John and Jon Klassen.

"A funny, bighearted twist on a classic."*

Moby has the BIGGEST toothy smile, and he's always up for a game of tag. Plus his backflips can't be beat! Who wouldn't want to be his pal?

So when Moby encounters a ship full of sailors, he's eager to make a bunch of new friends. What could go wrong...?

This is a charming, funny story about making friends - and finding folks who accept you as you are.

Review Quotes

"Could the most famous whale in literature simply be terribly misunderstood? It's a funny, bighearted twist on a classic, no English degree required." --Publishers Weekly

"A funny and relatable friendship story with plenty of kid appeal." --School Library Journal

"You don't need to have read Melville's novel to love Kenseth's spin on the classic. Hilarious!" --Roz Chast
