I am Dreaming about.... is a well written book about the habits of dolphins from the perspective of a sleeping 6 year old dolphin names Floppy. The author Dan Jackson tells a story and underneath are educational facts in the for of "Do you know" statements. There is also an engaging section in the back encouraging parents and care takers to ask children about their dreams and speak openly about the things they like and/ or dislike. This book is a beginner book and is best for children 4 to 8.
It is a good read out loud or self read and the pictures are so colorful and well illustrated. Children can definitely read this book over and over again memorizing the facts they learn about dolphins which are not widely spoken about, the name of a group of dolphins (a pod) or how long dolphins live. This book leaves an open question at the end "What are dreaming about?" to engage a conversation between you and your child and at the end are 8 pages you could print out to color if you desire.
There are currently 3 other books in this "Dreams" series one containing a dog, the other a cat and the last a shark. Dan Jackson also has a Animal club series that are non-fiction books containing actual photographs of the featured animal. You can also sign up for subscription list and receive a free book. Almost Dan Jackson's books are free through Kindle Unlimited or can be purchased for $0.99 via Amazon down below, also the printable coloring pages can be sent to you through by email, you just have to write to the author at the email at the end of the book.
I would definitely recommend this book for animal lovers and children who love to learn facts about animals.
