This book about Dolphins! is a very good book. I read it and it shares amazing facts about

a basket. There are different kinds of dolphins in the world like the Bouto dolphin, Hourglass dolphin,
Bottlenose dolphins, rissois dolphin and the common dolphin. Dolphins use echolocation to see in
the dark. Dolphins send out sounds that can hit fish and echo back to the dolphin.

This is a primary book for children interested in learning about dolphins. This book has a story line about the daily lives of dolphins along with questions that get answered right in the book. It also has diagrams and well colored realistic pictures that follow the story. It includes how dolphins breath, what they eat and how friendly dolphins are with people. The story goes on to talk about how dolphions help each other when they are sick and humans when they are trying to fish. We learn that...more

This easy reader uses a cheery tone and plenty of exclamation points to deliver basic facts about dolphins. A controlled vocabulary and extremely short sentences make it readable even for the earliest readers. The illustrations are adequate, but don't provide particularly valuable clues for struggling readers. One in which a group of dolphins suddenly appears on a white background makes it look as if they are flying, which could be particularly puzzling to a younger student. In general,...more

parents reading with their children
This is an interesting book about dolphins. Filled with anecdotes and basic scientific information about dolphins, it is still simple enough to entertain childen. The illustrations are pretty good, although the pictures of the dolphins are better than the people. Entertaining for grades K-2
This is an informative book about Dolphins.It informs the reader on the various kind, how they are classified and why. I would use this book in a lesson when discussing variations of animals, classifying them, and also as a writing exercising.
DOLPHINS! Dolphins is a good book. What I like about the book Dolphins is that they tell you how many different kinds of dolphins there are. I also like how they tell us what the dolphins could do. That's why I like this book.
This was a really good book showing how dolphins can learn a lot of things
Very good book.My kids loved it...

This book jumps right into the bond humans have with dolphins on the first page recounting the story of a dolphin that saves a woman's life. It goes on to describe many things we have been able to train them to do for us. I am glad to hear that they are capable of being not only showman but also shy and timid depending on their own personality just like us!
I like this book because it tells u fun facts about dolphins.
