Sam the Sea Cow - Paperback
by Francine Jacobs (Author), Laura Kelly (Illustrator)
Meet a gentle giant, a manatee affectionately known as Sam the sea cow, in this informative but beautifully illustrated picture book that's perfect for animal lovers.
Sam is called a sea cow because that's what he looks like--a big cow grazing in the ocean. He is also called a manatee. Readers are introduced to Sam when he is just hours old--though already forty pounds!--and watch him grow up. Combined with Sam's touching big adventure are numerous fun facts about manatees. An exciting, accessible book gorgeously illustrated in full color.Francine Jacobs is the author of 24 books for children, including the Reading Rainbow Feature Selection Sam the Sea Cow, illustrated by Laura Kelly and Lonesome George the Giant Tortoise, illustrated by Jean Cassels. The story of Lonesome George appealed to her because it describes the discovery and rescue of a truly unique creature. She lives with her husband, Jerome Jacobs, in Pleasantville, New York.
