During my twenty-five years of scuba diving, I was fortunate enough to be in the water with dolphins a couple of times, and it was a thrilling experience. Author Mark Farley has captured the magic of dolphins and the affinity that people have for dolphins in this small volume that's full of photographs of dolphins and information about them. A few of the tidbits in the book:* Dolphins are mammals, not fish, but they can stay underwater for up to thirty minutes.* The Killer Whale is the largest dolphin, growing to lengths of thirty feet or more.* Some dolphins migrate when the water gets too cold or their food supply drops.* Dolphins sleep, but in a very unusual manner.It's an excellent book for both youngsters and grown-ups who are interested in dolphins. (And aren't we all?)
