Debbie Burton’s delightful book, Manatee School, invites little ones and their adults to join Emily and her grandfather as they paddle their way through Florida’s coastal environment. Like the child in the book, boys and girls will uncover fascinating facts about the lives and habits of these curious creatures.

Young readers’ imaginations are sure to be piqued as they listen to the playful, rhyming text and take in the sweet illustrations.

Below the crystal current,

five manatees appear.

“Help me count them! Grandpa shouts.

They know that we are here.”

Burton’s approach makes learning feel natural. Bonus materials at the end of the book include a video link, access to free printables, and additional details about the mysterious manatee.

This book would be a wonderful addition to a preschool or elementary classroom, school library, or home reading collection.

Happy reading,

Tammy
