Tali Carmi's Terry Treetop and the dolphin book review

 

 
     This was the first book in the Terry Treetop series written by Tali Carmi that I read. Terry treetop is a book about a boy who loves to climb trees and is very in touch with nature and his surroundings . He learns about the habitats of animals and his curiosity sometimes leads him from home to adventuresome experiences and at some point up a tree! Haha!

     I have read another series written by Tali Carmi called Abigail and the..."North pole" or "Sahara" or "Jungle" Adventure (respectively) Abigail is about a young girl that finds a magical book and bike that transports her to anywhere she desires with the use of magical words.

     In this book Terry finds himself in a very realistic situation where he can not himself save an animal, but wisely calls on the help of an adult professional in order to rescue a wild baby dophin from a net.

     While Terry treetop and his family were on vacation he decided the best place to get a better view of the land layout was to climb a tree…. As usual. Terry observes dolphins playing in the water not far from where he is. Terry compares the actions and attitude of a baby Dolphin to that of a human child. He sees him as intelligent, curious and names him Dido.

     Dido wants to play with Terry  but gets caught in a fisherman's net and he tried calling for his mother but she could not reach him and no matter how hard he tried he couldn't  get loose. Terry Treetop knew that this was not a situation  he could solve himself  so he climbed a tree to see who could help him. He finds a marine ranger who has to put loads off stuff on and bring equipment  to dive and carefully  cut out Dido the dolphin because  a fisherman so carelessly left his net. In the end Terry  Treetop  does get to play with the baby Dolphin with the help of the marine ranger.

  I like this book because  it is about the natural behavior  of dolphins  and a realistic threat to marine wildlife.  I think this book is well suited for children who like animals and want to learn about their traits and habitats.
