Review

Dolphin Dive is another book in the Discover More Readers series. This informational story on dolphins is targeted to young readers in 1st and 2nd grade. The reading level is indicated at Grade 2.

An strong book choice for a first research project, the text is clearly written and is complemented by beautiful 4-color photography. Much information is provided, but the format that wisely uses photography, charts and fact call-outs, helps make this book very user friendly.

Another nice feature is the "New Word" circle that appears throughout the text providing definitions and pronunciation of key words. A glossary, an index, and free digital download are also included. From quizzes to dolphin games, young readers will enjoy the additional activities provided in the download. An interesting book that will appeal to dolphin lovers and readers who are interested in the ocean world.

Overall Book Score: very good
