Author, Mark Smith never stops amazing me with his educational series and beautiful underwater photography..The colored photos are clear, bright and you can zoom in on them on your kindle fire...The "Incredible Manatees" is the 3rd book we have in the series...Last year it was "Sharks" for my nephew for up coming "Shark Week" on the "Discovery Channel" which the kids watch...I got my niece and nephew this book because one of the "true facts" is they are very rare to see other then the places described in Florida...We did manage to find and take them to the "Mystic Aquarium" this year in Mystic, CT. where they have the beautiful Manatees there...They kind of reminded us of dolphins not in look but their friendly manner...They came right up to the surface to look straight at us and flip around like they were loving the attention..Such gentle sweet, creatures and we didn't know they were considered endangered species until we read this book...This story is engaging, informative, educational and explains the Manatees entire life cycyle..Also, provides you maps to places in Florida like a state park, called Blue Spring..Where you are allowed to go snorkling and actually be up close to a Manatee..The author provides small funny anecdotes about his own exporations with his son that had us laughing...If you children are fascinated with Marine life this is another excellent story to add to your collection..My niece and nephew always loves his books on animals.....
