Dolphin Adventure A True Story is about a diver named Wayne Grover and how he helps a dolphin family. He was diving one day and a wild dolphin family came to him. Wayne saw that the baby dolphin was hurt. He helped get the hook out of the dolphin's flesh. Then, sharks attacked. After the battle and the sharks were far away, the hook was out. Then, the dolphins swam away. Wayne wondered what would happen to the baby dolphin. Would the baby get tracked down and eaten by sharks, would it bleed to death, or would it survive? To find the answer read this book. I liked this book because it is something that really happened and you would always wonder what is going to happen next. I also liked the fact that it had dolphins and humans working together, and that Wayne Grover helped a dolphin. I would give this book 5 stars. This book is exciting, sad, curious, and happy all at the same time. This book would be good for ages 7 and up. If you like books about dolphins or adventures this book is for you.
This is one of those books (for youngsters) which is so unbelievable. And it's a true story.I don't want to give the story away, but so many intricate details are what will keep this book in your memory, as well as the book's theme.We all either believe or disbelieve that dolphins are interested in humans, and whether or not dolphins will interact with us in the wild.This story is of a boy who is swimming in the ocean. He is brought to the area by boat so that he can view the creatures of the sea.This is where he meets a family of 3 dolphins. So how does this bring them all together in the water? The two species communicated with patience, trust and a great show of love.I can't tell you how good this book is so you will have to read it for yourself and I recommend it highly for your youngster's reading, even though it has small chapters. There are also illustrations which help bring this book alive. Buy it, as it is so worth it for your child/grandchild!
I am now 20 years old and haven't read this book since Elementary school. Today, I randomly found the book on and the familiar first edition hardcover. I don't know how old I was when I first read it, but I independently borrrowed it from the library at least 3 different times and enjoyed reading it every time. I've always remembered, foremost, the cleverness of the Dolphins and the anxiety and relief I felt every time I read the scenes with the sharks or the baby being unhooked. I would say Dolphin Adventure has made a positive and lasting impression upon me and that every animal-loving child should read it.
The last third of the book was the awesome part of the story. It could have been expanded, and the first part of the book, the trip preparations part of the story could have been minimized. This story would make an excellent short film.
"Dolphin Adventure" is the book I give every child, from my own grandchildren to the children of complete strangers. A true story, written by a friend, it shows us that the structure of "family" is not just a human concept.
This book is written in an easy format for young nature lovers. Even if they are not familiar with the ocean, the story of wild animals seeking humans for care is amazing. We've been told many times how intelligent dolphins are and this story just emphasizes the fact. There is something about these beautiful animals that draws people to them. Nice that they can come freely without fear to people, as well.
My 4-year-old daughter loves dolphins. I had been looking for books for reading to her other than picture books. I read it straight through to her and she loved it. I had to read it again immediately.
This book nicely portrays dolphins as seen by people. For a very different perspective, some readers (mature teens, adults) will enjoy Ocean Echoes: A Dolphin Tale by Shaney Frey, which portrays dolphins from their perspective, with only occasional and perhaps more realistic interactions with humans.
