Amazing Dolphins! (I Can Read Book 2)
Grade 1-3&ndash;Through just a few lines of text per page, beginning readers can learn about dolphins. While there is enough information here for elementary reports, the fuzziness of the full-color photos detracts from the book's appeal for general audiences. Thomson discusses echolocation and other types of communication; the structure and uses of the blowhole; geographic range; coloration; social interactions; young dolphins; dolphins as prey for sharks, killer whales, and people; and governmental protection programs.
