AMAZING DOLPHINS!

Thomson offers another of her well-written nonfiction easy readers in the I Can Read series, this time exploring the perennially popular topic of dolphins. One of this volume’s best features is the excellent full-color photographs of dolphins in their natural habitat, including underwater views and some amazing shots of dolphins leaping out of the water in play. The simple text gives a coherent and interesting introduction to the world of dolphins, written for children who are reading independently but who still need limited sentence length and a large typeface. Some of the topics covered are anatomy, communication, locations and endangerment. Although this volume is part of an easy reader series, it will also serve well as an informational source for reports or science studies. (Easy reader. 4-8)
