  • Tahi: A Baby Dolphin's Story

    Kathleen Duey, Lara Gurin

    Hardcover (Smart Kids Publishing, distributed by Ideals Publications, Sept. 1, 2009)
    As part of the My Animal Family book-DVD-website series, Tahi beautifully explores the life of a baby dolphin that undergoes an important life lesson and ultimately learns to take care of herself. When the sun went down, my mother always found still water where we could spend the night. We slept, like all dolphins do, with one eye open. 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. The stunning illustrations, charming storyline, DVD and website offers something for everyone. This is family entertainment at its best! Ages 4 to 9.
