A glance at another world
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
As a young child, I fell in love with the vivid images in this book, the bright colors of the undersea world between the pages. For children, 'Venus' offers a look at another world, with different values, morals, and priorities. Now, years later, I still have it, and still enjoy going back and reading it. I highly suggest this, especially for children who show even a slight interest in dolphins, or the ocean in general.

As a second grade teacher I am always looking for books to read to my class that can help them relate to the subject I am currently teaching. When looking for a book to read during our ocean unit I came across Venus Among the Fishes. My kids love it. When I stop reading for the day they beg me to continue. I warn the kids that several parts are sad and often I find my kids crying along with me. I have recommended this book to several co-workers and they have all thanked me.
An excellent shift in perspective.

This tale of a dolphin adventure is beautifully done. The details are solidly based in fact, and presented without excessive scientific jargon. It gives the point-of-view of a dolphin with just enough anthropomorhising to allow the reader to identify with the animal. It also presents the plight of our sea mammals without being overly maudlin. A delicate touch. I bought this book for my 8-year-old daughter, but both of us enjoyed it hugely.
A great book!!!!!!!!!!!

This book is really interesting. It shows how other animals might think when they are in a situation. This is well written. I couldn't put it down. I read it in 3 days. I recomend this to anyone who likes interesting books.
This book describes how dolphins might see the world.

I am a 3rd grader and I liked the book, Venus among the Fishes, very much because itis dramatic and action-filled. I liked the way the author described the world as a dolphin would see it. After reading this book, I am very interested in dolphins and want to read more about them.
