Gr 4-7–This updated nonfiction text dives into the world of dolphins with energy and clarity, offering an appealing balance of engaging images and informative content. A bright, inviting cover paired with full-color photographs on nearly every page ensures immediate appeal, particularly for animal-loving readers. The book makes strong use of nonfiction text features, including a table of contents, glossary, index, captions, bolded words, and a list of additional resources, all of which enhance its utility for independent reading and classroom instruction. These features make it a strong choice for supporting lessons on informational text structures, while also providing reliable content for research projects. The prose is written in longer passages that may challenge some readers, but it rewards persistence with a well-rounded look at dolphin biology, behavior, and communication. Special sections highlight mythology, cultural connections, and surprising facts, adding variety and breadth to the presentation. A high-quality addition to the nonfiction shelves, this book also serves as an excellent update for animal or science collections. Its thoughtful balance of visual appeal and substantial content makes it particularly versatile—equally at home in supporting curriculum or satisfying curious browsers.
VERDICT A well-designed, fact-filled introduction to dolphins, enriched with images and text features that support literacy and science learning. Highly recommended as an update for animal nonfiction collections.
