My four year old grandson fell in love with manatees after I took him to see them in Crystal River, Fl. This book is very informative and some of the pictures are from Crystal River. I am planning to get others in the National H=Geographic series.

The best series ever for young readers. It is very hard to find books for young readers that are based on the natural world. The photos are beautiful, the storyline is full of accurate, interesting, scientific facts about the creatures, and has a vocabulary building review at the back of the book. And each book in this series has several upside down jokes that reference the animal, an added point of interest for Montessori and all children. BTW, I have gotten more than 30 of these titles for my classroom. Highly recommended!

My grand son drew Manatees for his shadow box kinder project. Google only works so well for a 5 year old. This magazine series truly delivered for us so I signed him up for a 2 year subscription he will be taking into the 1st grade to share.
