Dashing Dolphin is a fun story that my sons enjoyed - the second in Mr. Will's series that receives all of our compliments. If you've got children, as I do, this is a great story to read with them, with plenty of humor, great photos, and some very interesting facts about dolphins.I love the way the story reads, and so did my 6-year-old son, Isaiah. The jokes elicited more than a few laughs, and the fun facts that we learned actually started up some fun conversations in between turning the pages. The book is the perfect length for bedtime, and it definitely satisfied Isaiah's bedtime story appetite, which is always increasing in size and enthusiasm.If there was anything to point out on the converse side of things, it might be that the jokes are a little over the top of a 6-year-old head, but this also gave me the opportunity to explain why I was laughing to my son, who then joined me as he got the jokes. On the other hand, Isaiah is learning humor at the same time he is learning the fun facts in Mr. Will's books, so you won't hear me complaining a bit.Since our story time, Isaiah keeps asking me now to "read the dolphin story", which tells me all I need to know.I'm rating this book at 4.8 chuckling stars - thanks for another great read!
