Endangered Manatees and Dugongs

Author(s): Hadley Dyer

Animals

There are only three species of manatees on Earth, and all three species are at risk. Fast-moving boats, water pollution, and cold weather pose a constant threat to these gentle marine mammals. Beautiful images of these appealing animals help young readers learn about manatee bodies and behaviors, their habitats around the world, and what's being done to save them.


Product Information

"In keeping with the high standards set by Bobbie Kalman the Earth's Endangered Animals books are powerful non-fiction reading for upper elementary children....The photographs, diagrams, and sketches are, as usual, bright, uncluttered, and focused on the aspect being discussed....The web sites are easy to access, and the suggestions are doable without being condescending. The Endangered series would be an excellent place to begin a first research project. The books reviewed would be welcomed in any elementary or middle school library."
