The Girl Who Danced with Dolphins By Frank DeSaix

I found this book very peculier. When the grandfather and the granddaughter are out on the ocean he lets her get into the water and swim around. Maybe it is the lifeguard in me talking, but by looking at the pictures the water looks deep and he is letting her go off by herself. Also when the shark comes along I didn't think that the grandfather was very worried about her safety. The book is recommended for children ages 5-8 but there were some difficult words for children that young.
I liked how Adrianne's dream was full of images. It was very detailed and as a reader we could see what she was dreaming about. The illistrations were very detailed as well and went along well with the text.
