If you want an entire encyclopedia for whales and other marine mammals, there is the wonderful Encyclopedia of Marine Mammals, which is considered the "holy grail" of marine mammal books.
For some books discussing scientific literature, Cetacean Societies: Field Studies of Dolphins and Whales, though somewhat old at this point, is a great book to learn more about the complex social lives of whales and dolphins. The Evolution of Cetacean Societies: Uncovering the Social Complexity of Whales and Dolphins aims to be a worthy successor to the aforementioned book with much more up to date research, and it was just published.
I can also vouch for Dr. Hal Whitehead's and Dr. Luke Rendell's The Cultural Lives of Whales and Dolphins; culture in cetaceans is a particularly interesting topic.
Now for some free resources.
Check out One World's YouTube channel; she is a biology teacher who has a PhD in marine biology:

You can also check out the YouTube channels of various American Cetacean Society chapters for various lectures and presentations by various whale scientists and researchers such as the following:

I recommend the book “Whales, Dolphins, and Porpoises” by Mark Carwardine.
We’re reading it now and are learning quite a bit from it.

Thanks! This is the one I meant to link to. The one written by Mark Cawardine.
It’s really well done.

We found this book at a random book store, but it’s one of my son’s favourites. Very informative! Theres facts on the evolution of whales too.
