Kobee Manatee

I read Kobee Manatee: Heading Home to Florida by Robert Scott Thayer and Lauren Galleos
I received a free digital copy through NetGalley
4 Stars



Beautiful illustrations accompany this delightful story of friendship between sea animals. It is a realistic story about the dangers that face many sea animals, especially manatees, mixed in with the tale of friendship that young readers and listeners will enjoy. Along with the learning aspects within the story, there are a multitude of blurbs that tell facts about manatees. I read through the story once and then went back through to read all of the manatee facts. Many children like learning about sea animals, so they should enjoy the story as well as the true facts. Also, this would make a great learning tool in a classroom. A slightly more catchy read-aloud would have been the only thing that could have made this one better. The story is good, just not amazing.
