I Am A Dolphin
Barbara Todd and Helen Taylor

This second title in New Holland’s ‘I am a …’ series introduces a much-loved marine mammal. While the content includes those species found around New Zealand, such as the dusky, bottlenose, Hector’s, Maui and others, its full coverage is global, making this a strong international title. The basic aspects of habitat, hunting, social behaviour, breeding and relations with humans are covered at an easy-to-grasp level, and the simple rhyming text helps the children absorb the facts. 

This new series for the very young (4–6) is a first introduction to wildlife, presented in simple and catchy rhyming verses, and illustrated with cute cartoon characters and lucid photographs.
