Fascinating information for young readers August 21, 2004
A nice introduction to dolphins for young readers. The author, a well known underwater photographer, blends scientific knowledge with his personal experience as a diver. I loved his description of how adult dolphins teach their young ones to hunt fish. We learn what echolocation is and how it helps dolphins to see and experience their environment. And since echolocation can also be felt by a diver, Howard describes what that is like. We learn why dolphins jump, why they follow ships, how their swimming differs from that of other aquatic mammals and fish. And we see that dolphins naturally like to play and even invent their own games with strict rules.
It's a wonderful book with beautiful photography
