Dear Dolphin

<ul> <li> "a delightful underwater fantasy about a little girl named Ann, who searches for the "Lost Atlantis" with a friendly dolphin as her guide." --publisher advertisement, <i>The Boston Globe</i> 1967-10-29 pC10, as ages 8-12 <li> "Ann falls asleep by the shore, and suddenly finds herself in conversation with a dolphin. The Dolphin shows her how to swim under water ... The atmosphere is very much like that in <i>Alice In Wonderland</i>, where the impossible seems perfectly reasonable, and characters can bicker, even in the face of mortal danger because it is, after all, just a dream. The dolphin ... carries on a running semantical squabble with Ann ..." --review, <i>The Boston Globe</i> 1967-10-29 pC10 <li> "In a gay nonsense fantasy, Ann in oceanland seeks the Lost Atlantis ... Witty worldly word fun." --starred review, <i>Kirkus Reviews</i> (contemporary, undated online, above) <li> "A girl searching for the Lost Atlantis is accompanied by a witty dolphin who introduces her to the sea creatures." --blurb, Amazon.com 2018-03-11 as ISBN 0394918878 </ul>

Reviewed as akin to Alice; probably akin The Phantom Tollbooth as well
