N2  - The story of a Florida manatee and his trips from the South to Port Judith, Rhode Island, in 1994 & 1995. Tom Chapin's warm narrations and original music plunge your child into the world of each animal. The stories come alive with real animal and environmental sounds. Read the true story of an endangered Florida manatee who made an unprecedented trip north to the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland, where he earned his name "Chessie". Worried that impending cold weather would make him ill, experts captured Chessie and returned him to Florida. The following summer biologists tracked this travelin' man as he swam all the way from Florida to Rhode Island and back again
