4-6Checkerboard Animal Library: Dolphins series.
Various types of dolphins have their differences, but it's still easy to see the family resemblance throughout this series. Each book contains basic facts about appearance, habitat, behavior, etc.; some sections are repetitive across volumes. Clear photographs and diagrams help illustrate the information. Though they're fine beginning tools, the choppy writing lessens the books' appeal. Glos., ind. Review covers these Checkerboard Animal Library: Dolphins titles: Bottlenose Dolphins, Common Dolphins, Freshwater Dolphins and Spinner Dolphins.
