Hardcover. Condizione: new. Jordan, Charles (illustratore). Hardcover. Serious-looking little Finston would do anything to make a whale happy, and its easy to see why: whales show their appreciation not by laughing, but by spitting water at the comedian.

When he finally realizes that what whales really like are silly faces and goofy dances, he winds up getting doused.
