From the publisher

Swim with a baby dolphin as he learns to survive and play in an engaging story splashed with facts and buoyed by bright illustrations. Pop! Tail first, head last, Dolphin is born into the blue. He s brand new, but helped by his mother, he swims up, up, up to take his first breath. Readers are invited to join the baby calf as he follows his mom and discovers all there is to know about life under the sea, from catching his first fish to learning how to say his name with his very own whistle. Nicola Davies s lyrical narrative and intriguing facts are accompanied by Brita Granstrom s colorful illustrations, pulsing with the energy and movement of dolphins in their natural habitat.”
