Even at night, we breathe by swimming to the surface, so we always need to be half-awake. As told through the eyes of a baby dolphin, Tahi is an engaging, researched-based story about a bottlenose dolphin. This sturdy, hardcover book includes a DVD with award-winning BBC footage of the animal in its natural habitat, as well as an original song and a secret passcode to an educational website where kids can explore Tahi's virtual habitat.
