So I ordered this book of of the strength of some other DK books that I have purchased for my son. All of the other books I looked at in a bookstore first - this time I did not. So imagine my surprise to find a picture of a dead dolphin floating upside down in a drift net. For me that is not an appropriate image for a child to see. I can understand if they want to bring up the topic, and the other picture of a whale with a drift net where the words say that he breaks free is fine. But a picture of a dead dolphin - the book went staight back to Amazon.
I love this book so, so much because it has a map. I learned that he swims from the warm water to the cold water. There's not much food in the warm water but there's lots of food in the cold water. I learned that a whale's tail goes up and down but a fish's tail goes side to side. You should read this book because it's awesome and has a map. Travis, age 5 SIMILAR ITEMS:
