Winter’s Tail: How One Little Dolphin Learned to Swim Again by Juliana Hatkoff, Isabella Hatkoff & Craig Hatkoff

Do you like books about animals?  This new book by the authors of Knut: How One Little Polar Bear Captivated the World and Owen & Mzee: The True Story of a Remarkable Friendship tells the story of a 3-month-old bottlenose dolphin who was rescued from a crab trap in Florida.  Not only was she exhausted from her struggle to free herself from the trap, but her tail was damaged beyond repair.  She was rushed to Clearwater Marine Aquarium where she was nursed back to health, but her tail fell off, and she couldn’t swim properly without it.  This book tells the amazing story of a dolphin being fitted with the first-ever prosthetic tail!
