  Asleep in Armageddon by Ray Bradbury - Avoid Planetoid 787. Lush and sunny, with fine air and no dangerous beasts, it'll tempt you to curve in for some nice solid-ground sleep. DON'T! 
  You don't want death and you don't expect death. Something goes wrong, your rocket tilts in space, a planetoid jumps up, blackness, movement, hands over the eyes, a violent pulling back of available power in the fore-jets, the crash.... 
  The darkness. In the darkness, the senseless pain. In the pain, the nightmare. 
  He was not unconscious. 
  Your name? asked hidden voices. Sale, he replied in whirling nausea. Leonard Sale. Occupation, cried the voices. Spaceman! he cried, alone in the night. Welcome, said the voices. Welcome, welcome. They faded. 
  He stood up in the wreckage of his ship. It lay like a folded, tattered garment around him. 
  The sun rose and it was morning. 
  Sale pried himself out the small air-lock and stood breathing the atmosphere. Luck. Sheer luck. The air was breathable. An instant's checking showed him that he had two month's supply of food with him. Fine, fine! And this—he fingered at the wreckage. Miracle of miracles! The radio was intact. 
  He stuttered out the message on the sending key. CRASHED ON PLANETOID 787. SALE. SEND HELP. SALE. SEND HELP. 
  The reply came instantly: HELLO, SALE. THIS IS ADDAMS IN MARSPORT. SENDING RESCUE SHIP LOGARITHM. WILL ARRIVE PLANETOID 787 IN SIX DAYS. HANG ON. 
  Sale did a little dance. 
  It was simple as that. One crashed. One had food. One radioed for help. Help came. La! He clapped his hands.

  “A sweet and vivid historical tale.” Kirkus Reviews 
    
  In the late 1800s, a worldwide conservation movement started to gain momentum. One question people asked was this: How can we save the wild animals?  
   
  A mysterious fish, in a remote waterway, swam into history and helped answer this question. Meet Pelorus Jack, the New Zealand dolphin who won the hearts of travelers and inspired a nation to protect him with legislation in 1904. 
   
  Pelorus Jack lived near French Pass, a notorious waterway in the South Island of New Zealand. With gorgeous, lifelike illustrations, this story transports readers to New Zealand’s rugged shores where Pelorus Jack befriends sailors and locals in his role as guardian of the steam ships. 
   
  As his fame grew, though, so did the danger from collectors, hunters, and adventurers. How could people protect this amazing dolphin?
