The story follows Dylan the dolphin as he embarks on a series of adventures exploring different environments, including the seaside, desert, forest, and under the sea. Along the way, he encounters various characters like Carly the crab and Paul the puffer fish, each with their own challenges. Ultimately, Dylan decides to return home and expresses gratitude for his adventures in an email to Bárbara.

2. "What a crash! My head, eyes, ears and
my 100
teeth are here. My skin is still smooth.
Cheer up,
no scratches," joked the dizzy Dylan.
Dylan the Dolphin explored the seaside.
Carly the Crab walked over and bumped
straight into Dylan the Dolphin. “Sorry,”
said Carly the crab. “Crabs can only walk
sideways. We’re always bumping into things.“

3. "Ewww! Yuck! I'm thirsty and my body
is so hot
and dry! I must drink something. But... I
think I
can have a cactus juice," struggled
Dylan.
Dylan the Dolphin explored the desert.
“Cold drinkssss. Get your cold drinksss here,”
shouted Les the Lizard. “Can I have an
apple juice please?” asked Dylan. “I have
cactus juice or beetle juice,” exclaimed Les.
“Take your pick.“

4. "Don't worry! I don't have any nuts and nothing
in my stomach. I'm hungry and I'm getting nuts
looking for my way home," agonized Dylan.
Dylan the Dolphin explored the forest.
Sanjay the Squirrel was there, looking
worried. “Do you have walnuts, hazel nuts,
cashew nuts or coconuts? I’m allergic to nuts,
they make my cheeks go puffy,” he wailed.

5. "Holy moley! What a big kiss! I need a
seaweed
to clean my eyes. I'm blindfolded. My eyes got
puff and full of tears," laughed Dylan.
Dylan the Dolphin explored under the
sea. Paul the Puffer Fish was sad. “No-
one will hug me because I’m too spikey,”
sniffed
Paul. “Try blowing kisses instead?” suggested
Dylan. “Great idea!” said Paul, and he blew
Dylan the biggest, puffiest kiss ever!

6. Dylan quickly typed an email for Lenny to
send. And do you know what the email said?
Well,
here it is.
Dylan the Dolphin decided to head home.
Inside, Lenny the Laptop sprang to life:
“Dylan, do you want to write an email?”
asked
Lenny.
