My previous career was as a marine biologist and I worked on ships and at field stations studying primarily whales and dolphins. When I started teaching, I wrote both of these books over a 5 year period, one hour at a time. Over\u00a0 22,000 copies have been sold.<\/p>\n

Some sample activities can be found here<\/a> on this website.<\/p>\n
