Description

Dive into an ocean adventure with Jax! Jax is a young bottlenose dolphin, excited to introduce children to the ocean's fascinating, underwater world. As humans, it can be hard for us to understand marine life, but as Jax quickly explains, he's a mammal, just like us. From cool science facts to good life lessons, his story offers kids more than just a fun adventure. Written from the dolphin's point of view, the reader is transported under the waves into a colorful ocean world. Featuring amazing ocean animals, this book invites the reader to swim through the beautifully illustrated pages. So dive in and discover more about a fellow mammal. Learn about the intriguing echolocation signals that help dolphins determine what something looks like and how far away it is. Practice your best dolphin "click" speak and figure out how you'd introduce yourself to Jax. Imagine what exciting creatures you might meet on your next ocean journey with Jax. Written for children pre-K through third grade, parents and teachers will appreciate the depth of Jax's story--beyond the adventure, and even beyond the scientific education, Jax teaches kids the importance of listening to a trusted adult, paying attention to your surroundings, and using your abilities when you find yourself in a difficult situation.

Author Biography:

Pamela Jackson was born with gills. Well, not really, but given the depth of her love for all things under the sea, she might as well have been. A professional Aquarist, children's book author and Head Content Developer for the internationally acclaimed EverythingOceans(R) social media campaign, Pamela's life mission is to inspire and equip the next generation to become powerful ocean stewards. Known for her unparalleled ability to demystify the animals that call the ocean home, Pamela's love affair with aquatic life began when she was just five years old. While other little girls took their dolls wherever they went, Pamela took Goldie-the goldfish she won at the state fair. Fast forward a few years and Pamela's home practically transformed into an underwater reef-complete with various salt water tanks and countless ocean species. Pamela went on to graduate with honors from the esteemed Aquarium and Aquaculture Science Program at Saddleback College in California and quickly became known as a distinguished marine ocean educator in public aquarium facilities. Today, she's a sought-after speaker that partners with parents and teachers worldwide in educating children about ocean life and the importance of ocean conservation. Pamela lives steps away from the ocean in Southern California and enjoys watching pods of dolphins and whales swim in their natural environment from her living room with her husband, David.
