Reviews

[Miss Sarah · Rating 3 out of 5]

An early elementary guide to Manta ray fish including body parts and role in the ocean.

[Emerson and Theodore · Rating 4 out of 5]

We read this book together while sitting on cough with Emerson's new blue Ray from legoland. We looked at the photos of the rays and read about their bodies while looking for those body parts on our stuffed ray. Very nice.
