Delfina the dolphin imagines she is a fish with gills, a sea turtle laying eggs, a pelican with feathers, an octopus, a shark, and a manatee.
by Loran Wlodarski, illustrated by Lauri Allen Klein
If A Dolphin Were a Fish by Loran Wlodarski is the clever story of Delfina the dolphin, who imagines that she becomes other sea animals—a fish with gills, a sea turtle laying eggs, a pelican with feathers, an octopus without bones, a shark with a sense of smell, and even a vegetarian manatee. She (and the readers) learn how special Delfina really is, and how special each of her other animal friends are too. The incredible "morphing" illustrations by Laurie Allen Klein will have children laughing as they learn about the differences between animals! The "For Creative Minds" educational supplement includes fun facts about the dolphin family, mammal characteristics, and a dolphin graphic.
