Sleek body jumps ... Twin flippers splash ... Meet the dolphin! Brimming
with vivid photos and scientific facts, Dolphins treats middle-grade
researchers and wild animal lovers to a comprehensive profile of this
marvelous marine mammal. It covers zoology topics such as anatomy, diet,
habitat, and life cycle, as well as species conservation efforts and the
animal's relationship with humans throughout history. Sidebars, a range
map, and a glossary support the main text, while an ancient Greek tale
about the ocean-dwelling dolphin adds a cross-curricular cultural layer
to the title.
