Editorial Reviews

Gr 2-4-This easy reader asks a question that will attract children and provides basic facts about dolphins. Several short sentences appear on each page, offering a lot of information. Unfortunately, the book lacks clearly defined chapters that would aid report writers in locating specific details. Colorful pictures clearly illustrate the narrative. However, Kevin J. Holmes's Dolphins (Bridgestone, 1997) and Wendy Pfeffer's Dolphin Talk (HarperCollins, 2003) do a better job of introducing these appealing creatures and their habits.-Christine Markley, Washington Elementary School, Barto, PA Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
