Dive into an ocean adventure with Jax!
Jax is a young bottlenose dolphin, excited to introduce children to the ocean s fascinating, underwater world. As humans, it can be hard for us to understand marine life, but as Jax quickly explains, he’s a mammal, just like us. From cool science facts to good life lessons, his story offers kids more than just a fun adventure.
Written from the dolphin’s point of view, the reader is transported under the waves into a colorful ocean world. Featuring amazing ocean animals, this book invites the reader to swim through the beautifully illustrated pages.
So dive in and discover more about a fellow mammal. Learn about the intriguing echolocation signals that help dolphins determine what something looks like and how far away it is. Practice your best dolphin click speak and figure out how you’d introduce yourself to Jax. Imagine what exciting creatures you might meet on your next ocean journey with Jax.
Written for children pre-K through third grade, parents and teachers will appreciate the depth of Jax’s story beyond the adventure, and even beyond the scientific education, Jax teaches kids the importance of listening to a trusted adult, paying attention to your surroundings, and using your abilities when you find yourself in a difficult situation.

My 3 yr old grandson loves to listen to us read the story of Jax. He really dwells on the art. (the pictures are pure art). His Dad and I like that the author does not talk down to kids, or dumb down the science concepts. WONDERFUL BOOK

The best gift that you could possibly give to your children and your friend's children!
December 9, 2015
I am so happy that Pamela Jackson wrote this book! Ocean Adventures with Jax is so much more than a children's book. It is an extremely beautiful introduction and education about the importance of our oceans. When children learn this at a young age, they cultivate more of an interest in our environment and in the world. The story is fun, adorable, uplifting and so creative! I bought 5 and send them to all of my friends who have children.

What a GREAT book. Cute and smart
December 9, 2015
What a GREAT book. Cute and smart. My grandchildren loved it! It really held thier attention, and my favorite part, they were learning with out even realizing it. The illustrations are fantastic! My oldest grandson is 10 and he really enjoyed the glossary. After reading we all took advantage of the free coloring pages from oceankids.com This is one they will ask me to read again and again.

This is a sweet story about a bottlenose dolphin and his adventures in the ocean. It delights the young child with beautiful illustrations and an engaging story that allows children to feel like they are participating in the adventure. While Jax explores the ocean, your child will be gaining facts about bottlenose dolphins, humpback whales, echolocation and more! A great resource for homeschoolers to use in a unit study on the ocean (with preschool and early elementary age children). My children enjoyed the story and walked away remembering some ocean facts!

I was so overly surprised when this book arrived at my door. The story is wonderful and educating and the illustrations are what brings it all to life. Ocean Adventures with Jax is indeed in the “Keepsake” category and that is exactly what I wanted for my Great Grandchildren to have and to share years later with their children.

Wonderful children's book. I am so excited to to share the copies I ordered with my niece and nephews! They will each get their own and I know they'll love the story and illustrations. Such a wonderful experience into the ocean world. They love to learn how the world works and this is a perfect story to not only be thrilled to read as Jax experiences joy and and thrills in his day while also becoming educated on how animals live and survive in the ocean. They are going to soak it up and up and ask for more. Can't wait for the next adventure with Jax to continue the story!

This book deserves an A+.
By Stan Sopczyk on December 4, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This book deserves an A+, because while your kids are reading the fun story with beautiful pictures, they are actually learning scientific information that is part of the book such as what is a blowhole or echolocation. The story also imparts important life lessons about staying safe. The special format in the back with critical thinking questions allows for special bonding with your child as you discuss the various ideas. Moms and dads will find exploring the answers together fun. Included are drawing PDF's of dolphins that your child can color and you can show on the fridge. Young children will enjoy the exciting illustrations and may creatively make up their own stories. This story is a refreshing way for your children or grandchildren to learn about the ocean and it's inhabitants. I look forward to the next book in this series and I will definitely be on board!
