Description: After reading the true story of SAM THE SEA COW, LeVar travels to Sea World of Florida for an up-close look at manatees. These gentle giants and their natural habitat are explored.
Activity Suggestion: Educate others about the plight of the manatee. As a class, have students design a short fact sheet. Make several copies of the fact sheet for each student so that they can share the information with their friends and family.
