Manatees on Location

This is a wonderful book that is divided into 8 sections and depicts beautiful photography. The mother/daughter team give an accurate description of the manatee and their plight. Also, manatee anatomy and their sixth sense are explored. THis is a good book for any level teacher who is introducing a unit on Manatees or Endangered species. A plug for Save the Manatees is also mentioned with contact information on their back book jacket.
