Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 5-7?Two series entries that exhibit sound research and lively writing. Coverage includes the physical features and daily lives of the animals, an explanation of how they became endangered, and a rundown of the steps taken in the past and present to insure their survival. The excellent-quality full-color photographs are an asset as well. More complete than either Jane Duden's fine The Ferret (Crestwood, 1990) or Sarah Palmer's accessible Manatees (Rourke, 1989), these titles will prove useful to older students. Solid purchases that have no danger of sitting on library shelves.?Amy Adler, Toledo-Lucas County Public Library, OH

This book is a good source for younger readers,
By A Customer
This review is from: Manatee, The (Endangered in America) (Library Binding)
This book is a good source for young readers to learn about the wondrous creatures that are manatees. The book is extrememly informative, and the illustrations far surpass any other I have ever seen. As an enviromentalist, I strongly reccommend encouraging any and all children you know to read this and other books about manatees, their endangerment, and protection efforts.
