Review:

Dolphins are fun loving animals and they are very smart. Another cool thing about dolphins is they love interacting with us humans. When dolphins hang out together its called a pod. They hunt together, eat together, protect and take care of the young ones. They have their own little society. What we’ve learned from dolphins is that they are compassionate, patient, responsible, they work together, respect their elders and protect each other from predators.

Readers of all ages can learn so much about dolphins from this handy guide. If you want to become a dolphin trainer there is information here just for you. Readers can learn how scientists find, track and study dolphins. Readers will learn about the different types of dolphins there are and all about their bodies, what they eat and even how they navigate through the water.

Marine biologist Justine Jackson-Ricketts has a lot to share about her experiences with dolphins and why she wanted to study them. There are plenty of pictures here that show people working with dolphins and so much more. The back pages share how readers can help dolphins and other marine life. There are resources for more research for readers who want to learn more. Parents and teachers will love this guide for their classroom or home libraries.
