I saw this book and could not resist it. Being a lover of "Marsuial Sue," and a manatee fanatic, I had to get it. The book is so witty. John Lithgow is a remarkable linguist. The music is also very cute, and the illustrations are adorable. I highly recommend this book, as well as other Lithgow titles. I promise you'll enjoy them =)
How does John Lithgow manage to teach such an important concept in such a fun way. My daughter was introduced to Mantees for the first time in this book and she ended up adoring them. The book has a couple pages of illustration that subtly introduce the plight of the Manatee and why they are endangered. I chose to take that opportunity to educate my daughter on why Manatees are endangered.We are planning a trip to Sea World so she can see Mantees and she is thrilled. Thank you John Lithgow for your excellent educational, extremely fun books. Keep them coming.
I buy this book for every baby shower I am invited to, every child birth I am part of. I am obsessed with manatee's and John Lithgow really bring this book to life. He voice is just so entertaining. It's hard to imagine all the criminals/psycho's/murderer's he has played when you listen to this book. But it also just shows how amazing he is because you don't think of those people at all when you listen to this. Nor do you think of this book when you are watching him on tv or in a movie.
I am a long time manatee enthusiast - so much so that I collect them. I remember the first time I set eyes on a manatee I said, "This is so ugly it's adorable!"Fast forward 10+ years to John Lithgow's amazing poetic and musical love song to both the manatee and life itself and yes, here is a surefire way to share my admiration of manatees with my three year old son.This beautifully illustrated, cleverly worded and musically accompanied book combines humor and education to give children a memorable excursion into the life (and challenges and delights) of being a manatee.Take it one step further and inquire with your children.... " Do you ever dream of being a (fill in the blank of their favored animal.)?""What would that be like?"Lithgow stretches the imagination of each reader and participant in this tremendous book - and you can expand it even wider. This is one I will never tire of reading... no make that experiencing. It would be a treasure on every child's bookshelf.
My 2 year old loves this book. I, however, think it's weirdly worded and just plain odd. But, it's about my son and he loves to hear it. They have this book at preschool and he talked about it all the time so we got it.
Although I don't own a copy of this book yet, I've checked it out from the base library several times and my class LOVED IT!!! All I heard for the rest of the day was the kids singing the song or cries of "Miss Diane, play the manatee CD again!!" I plan on buying this book in the near future and am considering buying some of Mr. Lithgow's other books. If you have yet to listen to this delightful song and read the accompanying text, then, as the Nike saying goes, just do it!!!
This book/cd combination brings a delightful musical interlude to this story of a little boy who dreams of becoming a manatee, and embarks on an underwater adventure. The CD song brings his adventure to life in this title especially recommended for parents for read-aloud and multimedia pleasure.
This book includes the score and CD (we haven't touched the CD yet as the book has taken on a song of its' own!) and the most adorable story ever. For the anxious manatee human in your life, this is a great way to help ground and love her through a rough time. Fantastic!
