A fictionalized account, based on real events, of a stranded
dolphin, Aster, who is nursed back to health at the Maryland State
Aquarium, where she subsequently gives birth to Bob. This is a very
straightforward relating of events, without much characterization
(other than of Aster and Bob), clarity of setting, or subtlety of
dialogue. The story will be exciting enough to keep young readers
turning the pages, and the details of dolphin communication are
informative. George, offspring of Jean Craighead George, debuts
with a tale that reveals more about the author's interest in
research than it does about any potential narrative skills. (Kirkus
Reviews)
When Bob the dolphin was born, he was small and sickly, with an unusual comet-shaped mark on his drooping dorsal fin. No one at the aquarium expected him to survive. But like his mother, Aster, Bob was ornery, and he stubbornly struggled to overcome his health problems. And soon, he loved to leap high into the air and perform tricks.
Then one day, Bob taught himself a new trick-and jumped into more trouble than any other dolphin in the history of the aquarium. With a dolphin like Bob around, you never know what will happen!
