Dolphins on the Sand

(3) K-3 A school of dolphins becomes stranded on a sandbar. With the help of some people, the dolphins eventually make their way back into the sea. Arnosky incorporates facts about marine life while heightening the story's drama ("sharks cruised back and forth, waiting to ambush the weakened dolphins"). Likewise, his acrylic illustrations shift from dark to light as the danger lifts.
