The Manatee's Big Day is a story for young readers that takes place in the rainforests and waterways of Costa Rica. Presented in a bilingual format (English and Spanish), the action-filled adventures of the young manatee and her animal friends interweave information about the natural world, specifically the canals of Tortuguero, a picturesque town on the northern Caribbean shores of Costa Rica. In addition to the story itself, the back of the book includes a section entitled "Fun Science Facts," an illustrated guide to some of the creatures that occur in the story that also explains the difference between a food chain and a food web. Teachers and young readers alike will take special interest in this section. Other supplemental information includes an "Explorer's English-Spanish Dictionary" and a map of the town of Tortuguero, along with a description of the neighboring national park. With illustrations worthy of the classic fairy tales and a story written in a poetic style that never underestimates the intelligence of the young reader, this is a must for kids who want to learn about tropical nature, visit Costa Rica, or learn a second language.
