"If A Dolphin Were a Fish" by Loran Wlodarski is the clever story of Delfina the dolphin who imagines that she becomes other sea animals: a fish with gills, a sea turtle laying eggs, a pelican with feathers, an octopus without bones, a shark with a sense of smell, and even a vegetarian manatee! She and the readers learn how special Delfina and her other animal friends really are. And the incredible morphing illustrations by Laurie Allen Klein will have children laughing as they learn about the differences between animals! The "For Creative Minds" educational supplement includes fun facts about

Seasons change in the ocean much as they do on land. Spring brings new plants and baby animals, summer oceans glow with sparkly plankton lights, and autumn winds blow across the open water. In winter humpback whales migrate to warmer waters, just as some land animals move to warmer climates. In fun, fanciful form, children learn about plants and animals that are joined through the mix of seasons, food webs, and habitats beneath the waves. While set in the Pacific, similar changes occur in all the world s oceans.

Let’s search for adventure above in the sky. We’ll scout through the mountains and hills, and then try exploring the forests, the meadows and plains, cross the dry desert and through jungle rains. We’ll trek through a swamp, in a puddle, a pond, in lakes and the river, the ocean beyond. But, what are we looking for? Who will we see? Find animals on this ABC Safari with me! Once you’ve discovered all the animals, turn to the "For Creative Minds" educational section for sorting cards and animal fun facts.
