It’s Tuesday and that means it’s time for another Weekly Roundup post! There’s only one recent Mom’s Choice Award-winner to mention, and it’s a fabulous children’s book by Robert Scott Thayer.
Kobee Manatee: Shipwreck Sea Friends
Written by Robert Scott Thayer; Illustrated by Lauren Gallegos; Edited by Susan Korman
This wonderful book is part of the Kobee Manatee series. An earlier book in the series, Kobee Manatee: Heading Home to Florida, won a Mom’s Choice Award several years ago.
In this book, Kobee Manatee and his pals (Tess the seahorse and Pablo the hermit crab) are en route to Puerto Rico to explore the SS Antonio López, a historic shipwreck from the 1898 Spanish-American War. The ship sits underwater about seven miles west of San Juan.
On their Caribbean adventure, they meet several new sea friends, including a whale shark, an octopus, and a moray eel. But as Kobee and his buddies begin their thrilling exploration of the wreck, Kobee gets trapped inside the sunken ship! Can Tess, Pablo, and the new sea friends rescue Kobee? Children, parents, and teachers are sure to enjoy this spectacular tale loaded with surprises, fun, and exciting facts all about Caribbean reef fish.
