Kobee Manatee®: Heading Home to Florida

by Robert Scott Thayer

Kobee Manatee® swam from Florida all the way up to Cape Cod, Massachusetts. But it’s late September and he has to get back home or he’ll die from the cold. On his twelve hundred mile journey to Florida, Kobee meets two new friends: Tess the seahorse and Pablo the hermit crab. Tess always asks Kobee questions because she loves learning. Pablo lost his shell and needs to find a new one for his home. Their adventure is a thrilling story that’s filled with twists and turns, as well as exciting facts about the rare and threatened Florida manatee.

“A swimmingly fun, educational trip sure to be enjoyed by young friends of the manatee.”  —Kirkus Reviews

“Children can learn a great deal about manatees and their habitat by reading about Kobee and his friends and their traveling adventure.”—Dr. Katie Tripp, Director Science and Conservation, Save the Manatee Club
