With familiar word patterns, short sentences, and full-spread illustration-enhanced photographs, beginning readers are introduced to the bottlenose dolphin. Children starting to understand how letters and sounds go together will build confidence as they recognize repeated words and learn new words. Helpful labels on photographs provide visual cues for new vocabulary. Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards. Magic Readers is an imprint of Magic Wagon, a division of ABDO.
This is a nicely done title that I got at the ABDO booth at ALA this week. I can't say there is anything really special about the book, but the illustrations are nicely done and the text is quite decent if not particularly thrilling. Hand this to beginning dolphin fans if you have no other recent title on the subject at this grade level, which I would guess is a possibility.
