Title: Maybe for older kids or grownups this would be alright
Review: I love manatees, and I love reading to my daughter so I couldn't pass this book up when I saw it at the book store. Unfortunately I was disappointed. The art is good, not great just good and the text is mostly meaningless rhyming of manatee with made up words (Manatee's eat raisin bran-atee). This is not useful if you are trying to teach your kids to read or increase vocabulary. Worse yet the plot of the story is told primarily through the illustrations which don't have all that much to do with the text. Probably this one is more fun for adults who enjoy reading nonsense than it is for kids, who I imagine would just be confused.
Is the review positive or negative?
