El Delfín

Sleek body jumps ... Twin flippers splash ... Meet the dolphin! Brimming with vivid photos and scientific facts, Dolphins treats middle-grade researchers and wild animal lovers to a comprehensive profile of this marvelous marine mammal. Translated into North American Spanish, it covers zoology topics such as anatomy, diet, habitat, and life cycle, as well as species conservation efforts and the animal's relationship with humans throughout history. Sidebars, a range map, and a glossary support the main text, while an ancient Greek tale about the ocean-dwelling dolphin adds a cross-curricular cultural layer to the title.
