The Saving of Sly Manatee Sly, a baby manatee, has let his appetite get the better of him. In search of hyacinths, his favorite snack, Sly has ventured to shallow water, where a collapsed dock now blocks his way home. Coming to his rescue is Buster, a boy who lives on the lagoon, and Buster's friend, Rob. Everyone is pulling for Sly's rescue!
Buster's third adventure imparts strong messages about the endangered manatee and what we can do to protect these creatures. Imaginative tale-telling, a complete glossary and an appendix with more information make this book a great way to teach children (and adults!) about animals and the environment.
