highly recommended

Mr. Lithgow has done it again!!

I purchased this book and CD for my class of students. Never have they enjoyed a story and song as much as "I'm a Manatee!" The tune is so catchy, the words and rhyme so clever... Thank you, Mr. Lithgow!

John Lithgow Fan!

My daughter LOVES this book! We got a paper version from a cereal box when she was just an infant. She had me read the book so much it just fell apart... Of course, I had to buy her another one and we're just about to need another one... she loves it sooooooooo much!

Lithgow uses alliteration to its fullest which just makes the kids giggle!

great song for waltzing with your baby

i heard John Lithgow read one of his other books on the radio and bacame an instant fan. i love him as an actor anyway, but as a writer of children's books, he's top knotch, too! i bought that other book and then saw this one - it's great! i bought 2 more as gifts. i'm not sure if my 10 week old "loves" the books/songs yet, but i know i do and she seems to like dancing with me around the house.

Absolutely brilliant!

"I'm a Manatee" is another hit from the talented Mr Lithgow, actor-singer-performer. His children's books are such a joy not just for the little ones that are his target audience but also adults. The writing in "I'm a Manatee" is absolutely hilarious - a potent combination of flawlessly rhyming text, wit and humor. The accompanying CD with Lithgow performing the song that accompanies the text is catchy and will have little ones and adults alike tapping their toes and singing along.

I find Lithgow's children's books to be building blocks for early literacy skills especially with the sing-alongs and read-aloud opportunities in the book and CD combo. I can't recommend them highly enough!

Best Children's Book Ever Written

I love the story and the lyrical way that it is written. I love the language and the more complex vocabulary used is great for Children's lauguage building skills. The illustrations are wonderful. The CD is also a bonus that is really fun for a sing along. Our original copy was from a Cheerios Box, but we wore it out. This is the absolute favorite book in our library. My two year old has the entire book memorized, big words and all.
