D Is for Dolphin (ABC Books on Endangered Animals)

Describes the physiology of the dolphin by using each letter of the alphabet

PreSchool-Grade 2-- Not just another alphabet book to add to the scores already on the shelves, this one has a slightly different approach. The subject is the dolphin with its myriad traits and qualities, some of them humanlike and others uniquely aquatic. The one-line text accompanying each letter is simple but descriptive. A glossary defines the few words that might be unfamiliar to preschoolers and elaborates on the characteristics of dolphins. Illustrations in contrasting shades of blue capture the luminescence and magnificence of these graceful creatures and reflect their underwater environment. They should pique children's interest in learning more about these fascinating marine animals. --Sally R. Dow, Ossining Public Library, NY
