Dolly the Dolphin
A Ranger Kate Adventure
Join Ranger Kate, Ranger Kitty, Goldie the Golden Retriever, and Shannon the Irish Setter on a beautiful day along Florida’s Nature Coast in this heartwarming tale of friendship, courage, and marine conservation.
After helping release a rescued manatee back into the Gulf of Mexico, Ranger Kate and her friends decide to enjoy a well-earned day of windsurfing across the sparkling blue waters of the Gulf. The sun is shining, the breeze is perfect, and everything seems peaceful—until Shannon notices something unusual moving beneath the waves.
What first appears to be a playful dolphin soon reveals a troubling secret. Tangled in discarded fishing net, the struggling dolphin is fighting to swim freely. Realizing the animal is in danger, Ranger Kate and her team spring into action.
Working together with patience, skill, and compassion, they stay alongside the frightened dolphin while calling for help from the Kingdom of the Sea Garden rescue team. As the rescue unfolds, young readers will discover how marine biologists, wildlife rescuers, and conservation professionals work to protect ocean animals and keep them safe.
Filled with beautiful illustrations, exciting adventure, and an inspiring message about helping wildlife, Dolly the Dolphin introduces children to the importance of protecting our oceans and caring for the creatures that call them home.
Perfect for ages 4–10, this educational and entertaining story teaches valuable lessons about teamwork, responsibility, kindness, and environmental stewardship while celebrating the natural beauty of Florida’s Gulf Coast.
