Dive into an ocean adventure with Jax!
Jax is a young bottlenose dolphin, excited to introduce children to the ocean's fascinating, underwater world. As humans, it can be hard for us to understand marine life, but as Jax quickly explains, he's a mammal, just like us. From cool science facts to good life lessons, his story offers kids more than just a fun adventure.
Written from the animals point of view, the reader is transported under the waves into a colorful ocean world. Featuring amazing ocean animals, this book invites the reader to swim through the beautifully illustrated pages.
So dive in and discover more about a fellow mammal. Learn about dolphins' intriguing echolocation signals that help them determine what something looks like and how far away it is. Practice your best dolphin "click" speak and figure out how you'd introduce yourself to Jax. Imagine what exciting creatures you might meet on your next ocean journey with Jax.
Written for children pre-K through third grade, parents and teachers will appreciate the depth of Jax's story--that beyond the adventure, and even beyond the scientific education, Jax teaches kids the importance of listening to a trusted adult, paying attention to your surroundings, and using your abilities when you find yourself in a difficult situation.
