{My Thoughts} – The U.S. Military is a wonderful, intriguing, and all around captivating subject matter. This book is based on the Navy Marine Mammal Program. This book is a complete work of fiction, however it has a ton of factual information about the program stuffed within its pages.

Cory is a a member of the Navy’s Marine Mammal Program. He had decided to join up after a life changing even had taken place. He is the caretaker of a wonderful dolphin named Kaj and together they make to very well trained partners. This book is about a Classified mission that the two of them partake in and if you want to know about the mission, the outcome and more about Cory and Kaj, I recommend you read this book.

I have always been intrigued by the military. I enjoy learning about its history and where it has come over the years. This is is not something I actually knew about and I found it very fascinating and amazing at the same time. I did know that dolphins were amazing creature capable of many things, but I didn’t know how much they were actually being used within the military. It’s astounding what you can learn by reading a book. Although the book is a work of fiction, in the back is some very factual information and websites that can help you learn more about the program if you are interested.

I do believe that this could be a wonderful book for any child that loves dolphins and or dreams of joining the U.S. Navy or both. I look forward to allowing my children the opportunity to read this book in the very near future. It’s well written, the story grabs a hold of you and its based on something very real!
