(2) K-3 Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science series. Illustrated by Helen K. Davie & Helen K. Davie. This book elegantly conveys the basics of dolphin anatomy and behavior in straightforward, child-appropriate language. Pfeffer introduces each of the communicative behaviors with a comparable human behavior and uses analogies admirably: "These dolphin sounds are made like the sounds you make when you stretch the neck of a balloon between your fingers and then let the air escape slowly." The sleek illustrations provide important details.
