Wings in the Water: The Story of a Manta Ray

32 pp. | Soundprints | September, 1998 | Trade ISBN 1-56899-577-6 $$15.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Steven James Petruccio. This descriptive story follows young Manta Ray as she learns to feed, meets other rays, and evades predators. In a somewhat abrupt shift in the plot, Manta Ray, now fully grown, becomes involved in a close call with a fishing boat. Still, the narrative, an endnote, and the soft, realistic watercolors offer an interesting glimpse into the life of these elusive creatures. Glos.
