Short description

The Shiny Shell, a children’s adventure book about a boy and a dolphin on a mission to save the oceans.

Extended description

Starting from the perspective of L. Frank Baum and Rev. Dodgson (Lewis Carroll) The Shiny Shell takes our young adventurer Orion, on a journey “down the rabbit hole.” As his story unfolds your child is encouraged to learn. Knowledge is held up to be more important than the acquisition of wealth. The dire consequences of pollution and global warming are exposed and the perspective of non-human species are explored. Through all of this the values of friendship and family are uplifted. In every good adventure there are antagonists and conflict, but as in any reasonable fable, good triumphs over evil in the end.
Bring your child along on this fast paced adventure and you will be as involved in the story as they are.

Review by: Robert Shugoll on Sep. 29, 2011 :
What a delightful book. Easily drawn into the fanciful world described by the author, it's a book that blends a rip-roaring adventure with important lessons about science and ecology, the emphasis being on the perils facing planet earth from environmental disregard. Lessons kids could pick up on their own from thinking about the scenarios which unfold in the story. And the illustrations, wow! Nothing ordinary about the wonderful art which nicely supports the flow of this story.
