This is a great book for reading to 4-6 year olds. It talks about interesting stories about dolphins and people. An example: 2 pages cover how a man played with a dolphin in captivity by throwing a ring to the dolphin, and 2 years later, the dolphin recognized the same man and threw the ring to him. The book talks about how dolphins are intelligent and each have different personalities, how they like people, and things like that.
Do you like dolphins? If you like dolphins, this would be a good book. It has many facts, like dolphins can dive 500 feet under water without coming up for air. Dolphins can do a flip in the air. Is that cool or what? Did you know that some river dolphins are completely pink?I like this book because there are great pictures of dolphins. First, second or third graders would enjoy reading this book.
My son enjoyed this book and it was just right for his level. A little difficult, but not too hard that he couldn't get through it, and was able to learn from it. This one got him interested in the topic.
love these books, great price, kids walks away learning something, parent feels good about reading, then one day child reads themselves, price is fantastic-keep making many book-different subjects-really enjoy learning along with my daughter
I love these series. But most important that my son does. I order 20+ books and he loves to read them (usually it is not that easy to make him read). I got mix of 2-3-4 levels for the second grader, second level is too easy, but it creates some fun and he reads them with pleasure. Love it, I would recommend it.
I ordered this for some students who are learning English. Overall, getting kids to read can be hard and this was no different. However, the story did engage students fifth and sixth grade students who had a better than average command of English.
I bought this for my son who has been struggling with reading. He loves animals and this book became one of his favorites. It has some fun facts about dolphins that are pretty simple to read. My son liked the pictures and learning more about dolphins. If your child is not really into learning about animals this is not for him/her. However, if your child has a passion for animals and learning about them this is a good fit and easy to read.
This was a book we bought for my son to read as part of his school curriculum (we homeshool). He is 7 and really enjoyed it. It's a fun read but also teaches - he learned a bit about dolphins & is excited to share his new knowledge.
