“As a primary school reading teacher and avid sea lover, I recommend this book for children of all ages! Younger children will adore listening how even when boaters practice safety on the waters, accidents can happen. More experienced readers will learn responsibility and compassion, while gaining valuable information about manatees and their aquatic habitat.” Nicole Treanor, 1st Grade Reading teacher New York City, NY

“Mumford the Manatee is an exciting adventure that can easily grab the attention of an elementary or middle school student. I especially love how it addresses geography, science, and problem solving strategies. Students will be able to make real life connections as well. I recommend this book to all educators and parents who want to instill a love of literacy! The illustrations are also incredible!”

What other educators are saying

about Mumford the Manatee…

Virginia Lynch, technical writer

“Mumford the Manatee takes the reader on a comfortable journey where ‘assistance’ is the main theme. In both families ---humans and manatees --- there is a close and caring relationship between the characters. This is a good introduction to manatees’ temperament and living environment. I highly recommend this book for youth through grade eight, and also for adults who cherish the simple bonds which enable healing and forgiveness.”
