Chances are, your child does not understand just how big a blue whale - the largest animal in the known universe - actually is. Chances are, you don't either. So go on a quick educational journey with them and discover a blue whale, one computer screen's worth at a time.

Above, a screen capture from my view of the blue behemoth. But that's the full view of what I was looking at on the screen - the blowhole - shrunk down to a size that would fit in this post. The actual size, if I crop instead of resize my screen capture, shows you how much of a blue whale you can see on Punnybop at one time:

Check it out with your kid, you will both be amazed!
