SPLASH! Ira does happy backflips in the calm waters of Odisha’s Chilika Lake. But she and the other friendly Irrawady dolphins must be mindful of the hidden dangers that lurk all around. The author, a well-known wildlife filmmaker and conservationist, spent many weeks observing these dolphins while making a film on Chilika Lake. Brilliant photographs bring Ira close to the reader, while the brief text reminds us that her future is in our hands.

Informative
The text by Shekar Dattatri is simple, speaking directly to the young readers without talking down to them or preaching. The full page color photographs make it all seem very real - the flotsam seen, the deadly looking propellers, the dolphins splashing about, unaware of the dangers around - all convey the problem without using too many words... Shekar Dattatri and Tulika books have come up with yet another informative book for children, that creates awareness towards the conservation of this species, while telling the story of a lovable animal.
