An introduction to the friendly, intelligent dolphin.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
This undistinguished series juxtaposes action photographs of favorite animals against matter-of-fact texts that distract with awkward breaks. While the photographs--graceful dolphins speeding through blue depths; green sea turtles dragging their armor-plated bodies through sand; fuzzy, baby harp seals nuzzling in the arctic snows--may initially attract toddlers and young children, the text may not hold them for repeated readings. Nonetheless, each book presents general information that children can relate to other members of the animal kingdom: dolphins breathe air like humans rather than like fish, and live in groups called pods; sea turtles dig nests in the sand where they lay round, flesh-colored eggs; mother seals know their young by smell. Despite the books' shortcomings, their durable paper-over-board covers and reasonable pricing lend this foursome a certain utility. The foursome's paper-over-board covers and reason able pricing make them attractive as well. Ages 3-6.

From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 2-- With the the growing need for and interest in easy nonfiction, these outstanding selections are a must for most children's collections. Each book devotes one page of listed facts to the title animal. Next come beautiful full-color photos with very brief text. The dolphins are pictured leaping above the ocean and swimming underwater with skindivers. The penguins are photographed close enough to ``touch''--sitting on their eggs to keep them warm, romping through icy water, feeding their young. The harp seals are pictured hiding and playing in the snow; the most touching scene is of a baby seal and its mother rubbing noses. The green sea turtles are shown swimming with fish and on land furiously digging nests and laying eggs. An excellent set. --Eowana Bradley Jordan, Westgate Elementary School, Manassas, VA
