=========
Part of the Eyes on Nature series by KidsBooks, the book takes young readers through the oceans to explore the water world of whales and dolphins. Although the book does not indicate the intended age group, the vocabulary is occasionally rather sophisticated, making the book more suited to older readers, perhaps grades three and four.

Each topic spreads over a double page, with color photographs and illustrations. Brief facts and bits of information provide details for the topic. Young readers who are interested in learning about sea creatures are sure to enjoy this informative book.

Recommended.
