I'M THE BIGGEST THING IN THE OCEAN
Written and illustrated by Kevin Sherry
Publisher:Dial Books, 32 pages
A giant squid is delighted at being the biggest thing in the ocean. Even when he is swallowed by a whale he is only momentarily taken aback before he declares, proudly, that he is "the biggest thing in this whale!"

What an example of positivity. This is one squid who will always see the doughnut and not the hole.

Kevin Sherry's flat, brightly-coloured illustrations are eye-catching and cheerful. And his sea creatures have such a friendly look about them: Babies will be charmed!

This book comes with bathroom clings so your kids can decorate the bathtub or bathroom wall with sea creatures. (Try not to steal them, they're that adorable!)
