Manatees (National Geographic Kids Readers, Level 2) Paperback – April 8, 2014

The best series ever for young readers. It is very hard to find books for young readers that are based on the natural world. The photos are beautiful, the storyline is full of accurate, interesting, scientific facts about the creatures, and has a vocabulary building review at the back of the book. And each book in this series has several upside down jokes that reference the animal, an added point of interest for Montessori and all children. BTW, I have gotten more than 30 of these titles for my classroom. Highly recommended!

We have several of these National Geographic Kids books, and we're fans of the series overall.This particular title is great. The photographs are really lovely - clear and vibrant. The text is simple, but informative and interesting. Great for an animal-loving 5 year old. Perfect for a level-2 easy reader title.This is one that will get lots of re-reads in our home.

This was perfect for younger kids with extra details to even interest the older kids. It's only a few pages long but offers tons of information and beautiful vibrant pictures. It was the perfect addition to teaching he kids about manatees.

I taught a class on Manatees using this book. It is very informative and is full of beautiful images. This was a perfect book for my students.

I make crochet toys to donate and like to include books for animals they might be unfamiliar with. Very informative and easy to understand

My four year old grandson fell in love with manatees after I took him to see them in Crystal River, Fl. This book is very informative and some of the pictures are from Crystal River. I am planning to get others in the National H=Geographic series.

Grandkids 7 and 8 loved them.

These are super well done. Great pictures and fun facts. Great entry level nonfiction for an early reader!
