I’m the Biggest Thing in the Ocean by Kevin Sherry
This is a very cute book, great for a fun laugh. In this book, the reader is spoken to directly by a giant squid who believes it is the largest creature in the ocean. The giant squid then demonstrates this theory by pointing to different types of creatures it passes and verifying their smaller size. However, the giant squid will soon discover that, well, perhaps it is not the biggest creature.
The story is quick to read through and is bound to get a smile on the children’s faces. The story is good at covering the different type of animals that live in the ocean, though it does not go into detail about the animal.
This would be great for an ocean or animal themed storytime. The wording is simplistic and uses imagery to explain plot such as the comparing of animal sizes and the twist ending. Would be great for toddlers and up.
