Editorial Reviews

Did you know that dolphins are like people? Did you also know that they cannot breathe underwater? Like kids, dolphins love to play, jump, and swim. But they are also like fish because they have flippers, fins, and a tail to swim in bodies of water. In this pre-reader addition of the “National Geographic Kids Super Reader” series, Evans puts together simple vocabulary and sentence structures that are strongly supported by colorful photographs. She uses a vocabulary tree to aide in reading, and a quiz at the end to reinforce what children have read. Included is a habitat map that children will enjoy using to learn about the many different species of these playful creatures; such as the Chinese White Dolphin, the Spinner Dolphin, and the Irrawaddy Dolphin; and where they live throughout the world. And by becoming a National Geographic Kids super reader, kids can earn prizes and find free games and quizzes online to keep the learning fun. This series is great way to learn about your favorite animals! Reviewer: Linda Sweitzer; Ages 2 to 5.
