5.0 out of 5 stars Dolphin Adveture A True Story, November 23, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Dolphin Adventure:: A True Story (Paperback)

Dolphin Adventure A True Story is about a diver named Wayne Grover and how he helps a dolphin family. He was diving one day and a wild dolphin family came to him. Wayne saw that the baby dolphin was hurt. He helped get the hook out of the dolphin's flesh.

Then, sharks attacked. After the battle and the sharks were far away, the hook was out. Then, the dolphins swam away. Wayne wondered what would happen to the baby dolphin. Would the baby get tracked down and eaten by sharks, would it bleed to death, or would it survive? To find the answer read this book.

I liked this book because it is something that really happened and you would always wonder what is going to happen next. I also liked the fact that it had dolphins and humans working together, and that Wayne Grover helped a dolphin. I would give this book 5 stars. This book is exciting, sad, curious, and happy all at the same time. This book would be good for ages 7 and up. If you like books about dolphins or adventures this book is for you.

This review is from: Dolphin Adventure (Hardcover)

I am now 20 years old and haven't read this book since Elementary school. Today, I randomly found the book on Amazon and the familiar first edition hardcover. I don't know how old I was when I first read it, but I independently borrrowed it from the library at least 3 different times and enjoyed reading it every time. I've always remembered, foremost, the cleverness of the Dolphins and the anxiety and relief I felt every time I read the scenes with the sharks or the baby being unhooked. I would say Dolphin Adventure has made a positive and lasting impression upon me and that every animal-loving child should read it.

My 4-year-old daughter loves dolphins. I had been looking for books for reading to her other than picture books. I read it straight through to her and she loved it. I had to read it again immediately.
