The Adventures of Rikki the Dolphin
…not an ordinary toy
by
Michelle-Lee Young
and
Ashley Young
Bailey is a young girl who lives in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia. She loves the ocean, sea creatures, and the stories she imagines by the seashore. Most of all, Bailey loves dolphins. She longs to see them swimming in nature, especially after her grandmother’s exciting stories. Stories of how the Atlantic white-sided dolphins visited the Maritimes not long ago. When Bailey’s parents go to Hawaii, they bring her back a unique gift: a stuffed dolphin named Rikki. Rikki has a special tag on her right fin that tells Bailey she is no ordinary toy. Bailey introduces Rikki to the Northumberland Strait, and the two of them go on all kinds of amazing adventures. But when winter nears, Bailey can’t go to the ocean anymore. How will she and Rikki continue to have adventures? Will imagination, and love, be enough to see Bailey through the long, cold months? The Adventures of Rikki the Dolphin …not an ordinary toy is the first book in a series of adventures that follow Bailey, Rikki, and their great and imaginative friendship.
“ This book is wonderfully written.” The characters seem to pop and come to life. It’s unique, exciting, , and will capture the audience of any age.” Vicki Jones
