Gentle Giants of the River

A friendly manatee floats in the wide river, her round nose and whiskered face peeking curiously toward you. Wavy lines dance behind her, and leafy seagrass sways along the river bottom. In the smaller panels, a manatee glides under a flying bird, a pair of manatee friends nuzzle side by side, and another one naps near the reeds with closed eyes and a soft smile.

Each part of this page feels busy with river life. The manatees look peaceful as they swirl and rest, their flippers tucked close and bellies round. A zigzag of water and wriggly plants makes a fun place for colors to splash, while bold letters spell out their name along the bottom.

Coloring Tips

  1. 1 Use light blue for the water and let it swirl around the manatees.
  2. 2 Try a soft gray for the manatee’s body and a touch of pink for her cheeks.
  3. 3 Color the river plants with two shades of green for extra wiggles.
  4. 4 Make the bird bright yellow so it stands out above the calm river.
