Publisher Notes
A delightful picture book, filled with lively text and rollicking rhymes, follows a young boy who falls asleep and pretends he is a manatee, embarking on a grand ocean adventure where he meets other underwater creatures, saves a boater from falling overboard, and returns home.
Media Reviews
"Like Lithgow's previous works, this one takes a read-through or two to fully appreciate the rhythm and sometimes sophisticated tone; the CD recording brings it all home in a fine fashion, however, and will soon have many adults and children singing along."
Synopses
A boy imagines that he is a manatee, sprinkling seaweed on his raisin bran-atee and dignifying his watery domain with his wit, sophistication, and urbanity.
