Dolphins

Amazing Animals

by Kate Riggs

From winged bats to furry wolves, and from leaping dolphins to stalking lions, the world of animals is wonderfully diverse. This popular series travels the planet to study these and other fascinating mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, and invertebrates. Beautiful photos are paired with STEM-appropriate text to examine the featured creature's appearance, habitat, behaviors, and life cycle. Each reissued title also presents a folk story that people have used to help explain the animal's appearance or behavior.

This revised edition surveys key aspects of dolphins, describing the leaping mammals' appearance, behaviors, and habitats. A folk tale explains why these creatures are friendly toward humans.

[Clare Landrigan · Rating 4 out of 5]

We love this nonfiction series. The texts have beautiful photographs and are accessible for first and second graders. The text features in these nonfiction books are very clear for young readers. Each book has a table of contents, a clear diagram, bold print and a glossary. This is a perfect nonfiction mentor text for young writers to study who are writing “all about” texts.
