Animals
Hawaii. Dolphins at Play, by Catherine D. Hughes
[!]
PARENT TIP: NATURE
Use this story about dolphins to discuss how animals live by relating it to your child's favorite pastime: playing. Teach your child to swim in a neighborhood pool and pretend to be dolphins.

Play other games that encourage your child's comfort in the water—such as blowing bubbles underwater and having your child jump to you in the pool. Take a walk around a local lake, along a river, or at the seashore to spot birds, insects, and other wildlife and talk about their daily lives and how they also depend on water.
