Description:

Take a dip into the underwater world of gentle giants! This fun fact-book introduces kids to manatees, sometimes called "sea cows," and follows them through their marshy, watery homes. Young readers learn how manatee moms raise their babies, what these calm creatures eat, and why it's important to protect them from harm. Beautiful real photographs and easy, well-paced text make this a lovely book for reading aloud together or for kids reading on their own. It's a gentle, caring introduction to one of the ocean's most lovable animals.
