Dolphins written by Sharon Bokoske and Margret Davidson and Illustrated by Courtney

 I found this book very informative and its pictures engaging. I felt that it made learning fun with its little anecdotal stories and interesting facts.This is definitely an informational book. There is not one consistent story throughout the entire book. It does give short stories about dolphins. It tells some fascinating tales of how they heroically save and work beside people. The illustrations are also very detailed and realistic. They add to the story as well as give specific details about the text.

I would use this book for a text set or a paired book. I would not use it as a read aloud. It would be a great book to have as a free read in a library.
