It is vacation time, so Emily has to write to her teacher for help. "Dear Mr. Blueberry, I love whales very much and I think I saw one in my pond today. Please send me some information on whales."
Mr. Blueberry answers at once, pointing out that whales live in salt water, not in ponds, so it can't be a whale. But Emily believes in her whale and replies that she is putting salt into the pond every day before breakfast and that she has seen the whale smile. After several letters, Mr. Blueberry explains more forcibly that a whale cannot live in Emily's pond and that whales are migratory. Emily then reports that her whale has at last become migratory again because of Mr. Blueberry's letter and has left the pond. She is sad. But in her last letter, she has a happy surprise to tell Mr. Blueberry, and all is well.
Emily's very real concern for her whale comes through most convincingly in this delightfully imaginative, childlike text. Children everywhere will sympathize with Emily, and, like her, will learn some basic facts about these great creatures from Mr. Blueberry's letters. Simon James's full-color illustrations are a perfect accompaniment to this unusual book that gives small children a gentle introduction to the world of nature.

Reading the reviews for this book I thought it would be a more substantial book than what I found. It is a cute idea, but it is lacking in content. Very disappointed...will probably end up as a garage sale book.
Dear Mr. Blueberry by Simon James 2005-04-03
This book is about a little girl named Emily. Emily thinks that there is a whale in her backyard, so she decides to write to her favorite teacher "Mr.Blueberry. Mr. Blueberry answers that she must be mistaken, because whales don't live in ponds, they live in oceans. One day Mr. Blueberry wrote a letter back to Emily about how whales were migratory, and she read it to her whale named Arthur. The next day, Emily looked in her backyard and Arthur was gone.
Days and days have passed and Emily was still sad about Arthur, she gave up and thaught that Mr.Blueberry was right. After a while she went to the beach and she saw Arthur there. Emily was finally very happy about Arthur and went back to the beach almost everyday to see him. I think that this was a great book.

Dear Mr. Blueberry 2005-04-01
This book was interesting to read.
it was about this little girl that she taught that she had a wale in her backyard pond. so she kept on writing to this guy about it,and the guy wrote back. the guy was telling her that a wale can't live in a pond because wales like to live in salt water (ocean)and also that wales migrate so the little girl was sad. time past by and the wale wasn't there no more she taught that the men was right,so then after a while they went to the beach and she saw the same wale there .she was saying to her self that she was right the wale in her house was the same....
i recomend this book to everyone because is a nice book to read you will like it..
