The enchanting dinosaurs, hippopotamuses, and other fanciful creations of Charles Jordan have been captivating readers nationwide for over a decade. His unique ability to endow true-to-life animals with vibrant personalities has earned him the respect and adoration of an enthusiastic audience. A self-taught illustrator, he lives out his dream of illustrating children's picture books from his studio in a rustic home in rural Pennsylvania, where he lives with his wife and two young children.
INSIDE FLAP: Serious little Finston would do anything to make a whale happy. But every time he tries to tell a joke to a whale, something always goes wrong. How can Finston ever convince the whales that he's really very funny?
Join Finston on this hilarious, charming adventure as he strives to become a whale comedian. Finston's determined quest to cheer up whales -- and the surprising way he learns to be funny to them -- will inspire readers young and old never to give up on their dreams.
The expressive, vivid illustrations of Charles Jordan wash delightfully over Martin Nelson Burton's whimsical storyline and campy whale jokes. The result is a rollicking frolic through the high seas that is destined to make a big splash with young readers and grown-ups alike.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Jordan, Charles (illustrator). 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. Finston, however, soon learns he has a very dry sense of humor. After disappointing shows on the high seas, he takes his act to marine aquariums, and finds an even tougher crowd. When he finally realizes that what whales really like are silly faces and goofy dances, he winds up getting doused.
