Saving the Manatee

In this book, early fluent readers will learn how the manatee came back from the brink of extinction and serves as an important species in its environment. Vibrant, full-color photos and carefully leveled text will engage young readers as they learn more about the animal’s habitat, diet, behaviors, and current status, as well as how conservation efforts helped these sea cows make a comeback.   A Take a Look! infographic aids understanding, sidebars present interesting, supplementary information, and an activity offers readers an opportunity to extend discovery. Children can learn more about the manatee using our safe search engine that provides relevant, age-appropriate websites. Saving the Manatee also features reading tips for teachers and parents, a table of contents, a glossary, and an index.   Saving the Manatee is part of Jump!'s Great Animal Comebacks series.
