• Tepee the Manatee on Nov. 23, 2011
  
  Thankfully, because of folks like Helen Spivey and many others who are dedicated to manatee wellness, safety, and educating residents and visitors about the plight of the maantee, a story told through the eyes of a baby manatee is classic. The story is told as a children's story by a child but is very much for adults too. Not only does Helen describe their environments, but the story unfolds as Teepee tells it in his own words, as any child learns about their environment, adventures, survival, does and don'ts and their world in general. Two of my favorite parts include how Teepee was named and by who or should I say what? And, when his mummy teaches him about the importance of salt water in keeping infections out of cuts/wounds. This is something we (my generation/baby boomers)also learned at an early age while growing up in Florida. My neice is 6 years old now and this book is going to be one of her Christmas gifts.
