(3) 4-6 Face to Face with Animals series. Skerry details his experiences photographing manatees. His intimate study of the animals leads readers to a broader understanding and appreciation of these creatures. Detailed information, including sidebars (e.g., "How is a manatee like a mermaid?") and "Facts at a Glance" will intrigue budding marine biologists. Crisp photographs--such as pictures of Skerry's eleven-year-old daughter swimming with manatees--add appeal. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.
