This book is very informational, but I feel like there is information not relevant to the topic. I also do not like that it almost promotes using dolphins in shows.

This informational text offers a glimpse into the world of dolphins. The text grazes the surface of dolphin facts in a way that is easily understandable and engaging. The pictures are actual photos of dolphins that are superb. The book also has a way of introducing new vocabulary words in a way that clearly illustrates the meaning.

I liked it, but it took the aquarium theme too lightly since these creatures get stressed in these environments (and the way they are captured for this purpose is horrid). On other note, i did not know about the Doplhin Safe label on tuna cans, at leat here in my country i have not seen them, i gotta check it out.
