Dolphins

Children's Literature

When opening the pages to this book, children will have fun learning about the way dolphins spend their days in the water. A different chapter is introduced every two pages, covering many topics such family life, communication, playtime, and how dolphins keep safe. The outstanding photographs add richness and provide information as well as enjoyment. This book is just one of a series entitled "In the Wild" and is an excellent way to introduce children to nonfiction reading. The author has bolded specific vocabulary words and a glossary is provided at the end of the book. Websites, additional books on the same topic, and the addresses of organizations are included at the end of the book. What a wonderful writer Patricia Kendall is—she manages to include topics that will absolutely interest children and provides a true leaning experience in just 29 pages. 2002, Steck-Vaughn Publishers, Josephs
