Los manatíes
From the Series Animales del océano
Majestic manatees come to life with a photographic search-and-find feature that explores the animal's anatomy, reproduction, and ocean habitat. North American Spanish translation of Spot Manatees.
Affectionately nicknamed sea cows, these gentle giants spend most of their life in warm, shallow waters grazing on seagrass. Emergent readers will learn about baby manatees and how they grow up big and strong.
Vibrant photos and simple text will fascinate young readers. A search-and-find feature reinforces key vocabulary with photo clues and an answer key.

Series Review: Offering vibrant color photographs and packed with fun facts, these books are about all kinds of ocean life—coral, eels, lobster, shrimp, manatees, and sea dragons. The strength of this series is that the text and photographs align perfectly: each spread features a word and a short statement using that word, prompting readers to make connections between what they see and what they read. The last page of each book shows four close-up pictures and asks, ¿Lo encontraste? (What did you find?), and provides a review of relevant words matched with pictures. A visual glossary with close-up examples is included in each book. – VERDICT An ideal update for large collections
