For Kids who love to learn about nature

Dolphins! (Step into Reading, Step 3) Another good Step Into Reading book. Plenty of information at just the right level for my boy. This one is a little dated but it is still useful for children. I am glad they included the part about how fishermen kill dolphins when they catch tuna. It tells about how children became activists and campaigned to change fishing techniques by boycotting Tuna. This is the kind of thing kids need to hear about. It lets them know they can make an impact on the world.

Dolphins!

Such a wonderful book. I can honestly recommend it for all ages. Good facts, and charming stories...bound to keep your audience captive! It is a must for any child's library.

Juneau 2nd grader

Do you like dolphins? If you like dolphins, this would be a good book. It has many facts, like dolphins can dive 500 feet under water without coming up for air. Dolphins can do a flip in the air. Is that cool or what? Did you know that some river dolphins are completely pink? I like this book because there are great pictures of dolphins. First, second or third graders would enjoy reading this book.

Step Into Reading level 3: Dolphins: Great book, but not the best level

You can call me StoryMaker. Step into Reading: Dolphins is a great book that teaches how dolphins are intellegent and have their own personalities. It's a great book, but they rate it level 3. Step into Reading's level 3 seems too easy for a level 3. More like a level 2. Of course, SIR has lots of levels, but people might think that it will help their 2nd grader read. It probably won't. Overall, a great book about dolphins' reactions with people, but remember, it might not be as challenging as you suspected. Signed, StoryMaker. "Gotta trust the kid's review!"

A picture book, people's interactions with dolphins

This is a great book for reading to 4-6 year olds. It talks about interesting stories about dolphins and people. An example: 2 pages cover how a man played with a dolphin in captivity by throwing a ring to the dolphin, and 2 years later, the dolphin recognized the same man and threw the ring to him. The book talks about how dolphins are intelligent and each have different personalities, how they like people, and things like that.
