Great early science book April 1, 2005
This book serves two important functions. First, it teaches children about the science of dolphins in an entertaining way. Second, it acts as a model of scientific texts that will help them to use more complex books as they grow more advanced.
Complete with diagrams, photographs, and an index, the book takes teaching us about dolphins seriously, but the text itself remains engaging enough to keep our interest.
Readers will learn everything from the evolution of dolphins to the surprising level of intelligence they have displayed. It also presents many interesting anecdotes that help to illustrate key concepts.
I highly recommend this book as a way to inspire learning about dolphins, and about the natural world in general.
