Sea Monster and the Bossy Fish

32 pp. | Chronicle | August, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4521-1253-4 $16.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Andy Rash. A new fish starts school and is soon ruling the class, handing out nicknames, bossing others around, and hogging all the dress-up clothes. When the showy newcomer starts an exclusive club, Ernest, the kind and thoughtful sea monster, starts one of his own that includes everyone. The lesson is prescriptive, but aquatic puns punctuating boldly colored illustrations will draw in audiences.
Reviewer: Rebecca Reed Whidden
