The little Pacific white-sided dolphin lives up to his name. He loves to skim and dive, turn and spin. He goes so fast and keeps on the move for so long that his friends have trouble keeping up with him. After a time, they do not even try. When Dizzy does return to find his buddies, he discovers he has missed a bountiful fish dinner. Finally, when Dizzy does slow down, he sees that he is missing out, not only on a good meal, but on many wondrous sights as well. He lifts his head to look up at the sky and realizes as he gazes that the clouds form pictures. The appropriately fast-moving story is told in rhyme, making it fun to read aloud. "He gazed at a cloud till it started to play./ No longer a puff, it became a stingray." A page of interesting facts about dolphins is included. Dizzy and all his little friends are imaginatively and appealingly illustrated.
