2 out of 5 stars not too impressed   July 19, 2000
 6 out of 7 found this review helpful

This is the book to the tv program "The new Explorers" about dolphins. I haven't seen the program on tv but the book is basicly aimed at children. Reading this book I get the impression someone who isn't good at writing anyways was trying to write simple so young readers would understand. Sometimes it is at the level for a 6 year old, other parts are written more complex that this age group wouldn't be able to fully understand. Many of the photos are stills from the video tape and hence the quality is poor. All in all the impression I have from this book is not too positive. To me it looks like a sloppy job to get some secondary sale from the TV program. I've seen better books for children about dolphins.
