Quick Summary

Got a kid who's always asking why dolphins aren't fish? This little Q&A book answers that and dozens of other dolphin-related questions in short, snappy entries that make it easy to dip in and out of. The Bergers keep the tone light and friendly, tossing in a bit of humor here and there, which makes the facts stick without feeling like a textbook. Each spread is a new question "Do dolphins sleep?", "How do they talk?" so readers can jump around, and the clear answers are perfect for reluctant readers who get overwhelmed by long paragraphs. Parents will appreciate that there's no scary or graphic content; it's just solid, kid-friendly science about dolphin behavior, intelligence, and how they interact with people. If your child enjoys this, they'll likely love the other books in the same series, like "Is a Penguin a Bird?", which uses the same fun Q&A format.
