Little Dolphin Rescue is an early reader chapter book, but I read it with my 5 year old granddaughter and she enjoyed it. We read it over a couple of days and it was a perfect choice to see if she could listen to longer books. In this story, Callie learns how to swim like a dolphin in the pool, and then she is magically transported to a tropical island in the Indian Ocean. There, she learns about the fragile coral reef and befriends a young dolphin she names Spinner. When Spinner ends up being ensnared in part of a fishing net, Callie knows she has to do something to help. Although Callie is fearful of sharks and the deep water, she knows that she is Spinner's only chance for rescue, especially since the other dolphins can't help. There are things I liked about this story and things I didn't. First, I liked that Callie learned about the coral reef and the danger to the animals of things left in the ocean. I also liked that she faces her fears, to save Spinner. What I disliked was the risks she took and the fact that she didn't ask an adult to help. The illustrations were well done and showed the danger to Spinner quite well. This was a cute story, but I believe that it is better for older children, which are the target audience. My granddaughter liked the story and enjoyed the illustrations, but l found her interest wandering a bit. Overall a nice early chapter book for children 7 and up.
