Dancing with Manatees is a beautiful book about a young girl and her friend who is a scientist. Although this is an informational text I truly enjoy the author’s use of story while still providing interesting facts about manatees. I also really enjoyed how the author presented a real world problem and set the characters on an adventure to solve this problem. The illustrations in this book are soft and colorful and extremely accurate in comparison to the facts the author gives. I also love that this book highlights the life of an endangered species and the problems they face in the wild through its identification of the scars on the manatees. This lovely book can be enjoyed by people of all ages and may provide new information even to its adult readers. The main idea in this book is that manatees are large and gentle creatures that are being injured by human things such as boat propellers and fishing line. ( )
