I like to learn about the manatee family. My favorite manatee was the Steller's Sea Cow. I also like the Dugong. I am doing a science project on the manatee. Thank you for your web site. I learned a lot on the manatee.--Rickey, age 9

Dear Reader, I am a 5th grader and would like to know if I can help save the Manatees. I loved your book--it was excellent. I hope I can help.

Dory from Aurora, Colorado sent in this drawing of what she saw while snorkeling in the Crystal River. Click on the drawing to see a larger version -- you will enjoy the wonderful underwater world she created.

We're using Manatee Mania!, the books, and the baby manatee cutout already! The kids love it and so do Lee and I. There's so much more we plan on doing with this....Thanks for everything!!!

As a Montessori teacher, I highly recommend Manatee: A First Book for the classroom. The "Jane Goodall" of the manatee in the Crystal River, Donna Corey has written and lovingly illustrated this story of Bubba. She has swum with and played with this gentle, endangered creature. Children love the baby manatee. They will ask to hear the story over and over again.

This is the most beautiful manatee book yet!--Ohio Divers Supply

Manatee: A First Book is actually two books in one.--
Kris, Children's Librarian

Filled with photos and illustrations, this easy and fun-to-read book deals with the serious matter of Manatee conservation.--SkinDiver magazine

Your book is a treasure! We just observed Earth Week in our classroom and your book was a very important part of our unit!
