This Is a Sea Cow

2021 Redbud Read-Aloud Book Award Masterlist

Writing a school report on sea cows? You might ask this sea cow what SHE thinks!

When an imaginative second-grader writes a school report about sea cows, the subject is not happy with her portrayal. Sea Cow—or Manatee, as she prefers to be called—comes to life on the pages of the report and decides to defend herself against unflattering comparisons to set the record straight with fascinating facts about manatees.
