"The Tale of two Dolphins expresses in beautifully simple yet poignant language the author's feelings at the tragic loss of her older sister. This book can be used sensitively in planned PSHE sessions with mainstream and Special Needs Children in Key Stages 1,2,3 and 4. It speaks clearly to any child or adult who has had to cope with the devastating loss of someone close to them. In curriculum terms this book could be used simply as a resource to implement the school's PSHE policy on Loss and Death. It could also be used in an emergency by a teacher with an individual to help focus private talk at a time of crisis and later. You might find that you could more effectively utilise multiple copies of the book- (perhaps 6 copies for a small group) to help children work on their social skills using this text as a focus for group discussion. Aspects of the National literacy Strategy could of course be addressed using this text to help promote work on: - personification, - inference, - personal writing, - illustration, and - the use of metaphors. This is a book which has a great deal to offer children of all ages. It is a "not so simple" picture book! However you choose to use it, remember that it should be used sensitively and selectively. It offers a unique and valuable insight into the feelings associated with bereavement while leaving the reader with a positive outlook for the future.
