Kidz Book Review
Doreen Lennox - October 31, 2022
Pelorus Jack was a white dolphin who established a big reputation, in Aotearoa and beyond.
This is a true New Zealand story that tells about a rare white dolphin, Pelorus Jack, who escorted ships through the Marlborough Sounds over 100 years ago. People all over the world came to see the dolphin, including royalty.
The text is easy to read for most children of upper primary age (Years 6 to 9) and the book is beautifully illustrated. It is a story important in New Zealand history, a part of our heritage.
