Illustrated by
Maggie Caton.
On the ocean floor, lonely Blobfish dreams of a life full of excitement, friends, and "delicious treats." To that end, Blobfish proclaims, "Deep-sea party! Bring a treat to share!" and inadvertently begins a wild game of telephone that spans the entire planet--and beyond. The conclusion is sweet (literally) and satisfying, and animated illustrations in candy colors bring the squishy pink protagonist to life.
