Illustrated by
Susan Schaub MacKay.
In this book based on a true story, a beached baby dolphin is separated from its mother during a storm, injured in a shark attack, and rescued by the Texas Marine Mammal Stranding Network and nursed back to health. Illustrated with blotchy color artwork and two slightly blurry photos of the real Stormy, the text also gives information about dolphins in the wild. An appended list of dolphin facts includes vocabulary words.
