Sam the Sea Cow 

by Francine Jacobs, Laura Kelly (Illustrator)

Sam is called a sea cow because that’s what he looks like – a big cow grazing in the ocean. Another name for Sam is manatee. In this book we meet Sam when he is just hours old and leave him when he is ready to mate. Join our St. Johns Riverkeeper Educator as we go on a a big adventure with Sam and learn all about Manatees.
