Booklist
“Colorful and gently humorous illustrations, a clear and concise text, and an important but subtly conveyed message about human-animal interactions make this both an entertaining story and a useful tool to stimulate discussion about the intelligence and resourcefulness of the dolphin and the importance of understanding, patience, trust, and respect whenever humans deal with animals.”
