Dolphin Named Bob

Description: When Bob the dolphin was born, he was small and sickly. No one at the aquarium expected him to survive. But, like his mother, Aster, Bob was stubborn, and he bravely struggled to overcome his health problems. Then, one day, Bob taught himself a new trick--and jumped into more trouble than any other dolphin in the history of the aquarium!
