Review: "Dolphin Baby!" is a good example of an informational book because it includes quick facts, an index to help students easily find what they are looking for. Genre or type of Picture book: Concept, Easy Reader Recommended for: Nursery- Primary Dolphin Baby, by Nicola Davies, is an easy-reader book for young kids. It is both a concept book and tells a story of the life of dolphins. The illustrations done by, Brita Granstrom, in acrylic on the cover and throughout the book are captivatingly beautiful. The deep blues, convey the depth and the mystery of the ocean. All audiences will gravitate towards this book for the imagery and illustrations. However, the book lacks intrigue, the text reads like an encyclopedia, which might lose young audiences, and old audiences for that matter. I feel that the book would be a stronger resource, if readers paraphrased the text and turned the book into more of a engaging story. no reviews | add a review
