Review
The book was interesting, it's all about a man named Flip Nickin who's traveled the whole world studying different types of dolphins. He's learned the difference between an orca and a bottlenose. Witness a dophin baby nursed with mother's milk. Discovered how these social mammals echolocate and communicate. Flip is a veteran of 5,500 dives worldwide, and this compelling book aims to encourage active concern and support for these smiling sea creatures whose intelligence demands our kinship.

Face to Face with Caterpillars
Just Like Face to Face with Dolphins, the book is about a person and his studies on a creature. A person Darlyne Murawski came eye-to-eye with a spiny caterpillar in Costa Rica and was stung by the harmless- looking creepy-crawly. That’s one of many caterpillar close-ups in this amazing book. Readers study these insects like the experts: witness the astonishing metamorphosis from caterpillar to pupa to butterfly; see the snake-like defenses of some poisonous species; and the silk stitching of other caterpillars’ leafy hideaways.
Face to Face with Sharks
Acclaimed underwater photographer David Doubilet takes you deep into their dangerous realm. Yet he points out that it is we who are the killers! Our fear and ignorance puts this diverse family of fish in great danger. Let David teach you about sharks’ complex nature, and about how you can help to save the shark.
