This author has done a great job in putting together information about the animals which share our earth.  When you look at the pictures, often small, just remember to double click on them and they balloon in size. Dolphins are amazing sea creatures.  They move quickly, are talented, often they are clowns, and they can athletically jump above the ocean 20 feet.  They come in many varieties and sizes, have smooth, slippery bodies, unlike fish that have scales.  Why?  Because dolphins are mammals, just like humans.  The longest they can stay underwater is 30 minutes, then they must rise to the surface to take in air through their blow-hole on top of their head. Most dolphins live in the sea, but some live in fresh water areas such as the Amazon and Orinoco basins in South America.  They are very friendly with humans and sometimes when a human is in trouble in the sea, a dolphin will save them by pushing them to a beach -- they are that smart and caring to save a life.  Parents and children will love this guide which talented Emma Child has created.  All her books are geared for young children, but there are things in each one that adults will be amazed to learn.  Highly recommend the entire series!
