Reviews for Kobee Manatee

[mclement-1 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Received a copy of this book from Netgalley for an honest review.I read this book to my three and five year old daughter. They enjoyed it a lot. I liked that there was so much included in the book. I also got to talk to them different areas and why Kobee was going to Florida. They loved when they heard places that they were familiar with. The color of the pictures in the book was amazing.
