They love to know a story/movie is something that really happened in real life, it gets their interest up in reading. Thanks for the opportunity to buy this book! Jan A

Dolphin nstories

This story is amazing. In fact, it is hard to believe that it is true, but I am taking the word of the author. I bought the book to read to my grandchildren, but I enjoyed it immensely and have asked other adults to read it. It is charming and heartwarming.

Dolphin Adveture A True Story

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.

Great for reading out loud

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.

A Sense of Connection

The Dolphin Adventure gave me a feeling of peace and deep joy. It is a story about the possibilities for connection inherent in our individual lives and decisions. How do you get connected? Grover's story says this comes from observing, deciding and then doing the thing that connects you. In the story, the diver's attentiveness, decision to act and willingness to persevere created a connection that impacted all lives for the rest of their lives. This is my all-time favorite book. It is sweet, simple and profound.
