Description
With spring around the corner, what better way to celebrate the start of warmer weather than diving deep into the wonderful world of dolphins in volume 10.6? Not only are dolphins one of the most intelligent, caring and friendly mammals (after humans!), but they sure do know how to have fun! Because dolphins are mammals, they must surface every few minutes to take a breath. When they do this, they often like to show off! You may have seen them jumping, riding waves, blowing bubble rings to swim through and passing objects to each other. Dolphins understand that it is important to play and have fun. And, playing and having fun is always better with friends! Sometimes, we need to step away from our daily routine to ‘take a breath’, just like dolphins. When you do, remember to be playful and silly, and enjoy your time with your friends and family.
Enjoy diving into this fun-filled issue. Stay curious, kids!
