What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book takes a purely educational and positive approach to nature. There are no mentions of captivity, pollution, or predators, keeping the experience safe for very sensitive children.
Ideal Reader
A preschooler who has just visited an aquarium or seen a video of the ocean and is now obsessed with 'fish' and sea creatures. It is also excellent for a child who prefers real-world facts over fantastical stories.
Parent Prep
This book can be read cold. It is designed for immediate engagement. Parents might want to practice a few 'dolphin sounds' (clicks and whistles) to make the reading more interactive. A parent might reach for this after their child points out a dolphin in a movie or asks, 'How do dolphins sleep?' or 'Do they have noses?'
