From Booklist
Gr. 3-5. Modern-day research and age-old myths are intermingled in this readable account of the life cycle of the bottlenose dolphin. Schomp conveys the grace and intelligence of this fascinating animal through captioned color photos (including some great underwater shots) and text, in large, easy-to-read type. In addition to the usual descriptions of physical characteristics, reproduction, and habitats, she includes a detailed explanation of echolocation and presents interesting stories, dating back to ancient Greece and Rome, that tell of the unusual bond between dolphins and human beings. Whether for research or for personal-interest reading, this is a clear and concise entry in the Remarkable Animals series. Lauren Peterson
