Bookroo's summary

Join a scientific team as they delve into the mysteries of dolphin intelligence. Meet a captivating cast of dolphins, including Puck and Piccolo, as they reveal insights into human cognition and the ocean's fate. This journey through the dolphins' world raises questions about our own intelligence and the ethics of captivity. With stunning photos and engaging storytelling, discover what these remarkable creatures can teach us about ourselves and the planet.

From the publisher

Ride alongside the author Pamela S. Turner and her scientific team and meet a cast of dolphin characters large enough (and charismatic enough) to rival a Shakespearean play–Puck, Piccolo, Flute, and Dodger among them. You will fall in love with this crew, both human and finned, as they seek to answer the question: just why are dolphins so smart? And what does their behavior tell us about human intelligence, captive animals, and the future of the ocean? Beautiful photos of dolphins in their natural habitat and a funny, friendly, and fast-paced text make this another winner in the Scientists in the Field series. Pair this with other intriguing stories of real-world science, at www.sciencemeetsadventure.com.
