As usual I received this book for free for the purposes of review; this time from the author directly. Despite this kindness I give my scrupulously honest opinion below.In a nutshell and quite this is a very brief and very simple book about dolphins. The content is appropriate for any age but only the very youngest readers will stick with this. The contents along pretty simple lines with a picture at the top of each page and a paragraph of text under it.On the positive side, the book is very easy for young readers. Even if your child has never seen a dolphin before in their lives this book will make sense. It assumes nothing about the potential reader and begins at the very beginning.To the negative side, the pictures in this book are very tiny. You can enlarge them on your Kindle by holding your finger over the photo for a second until a menu pops up allowing you to 'zoom' but sadly once you do this the photo just becomes blurry and suffers significantly. Lastly, the writing is reasonably professional though it does have a tendency to interrupt itself in the middle of a sentence with another sentence "wait, what?!" which might be confusing to newer readers.In summary, this is a good little book to have around but it isn't perfect. It'll certainly keep at least one child entertained for a few minutes while you cook dinner. All the books in this series, from what I've seen, are of almost identical quality so make your selection based on your favorite animal; you'll get the same basic premise no matter what. The series is very consistent.PS: It is always my endeavor to provide helpful reviews. If you find my review helpful then great!
