A review by skysalla
I'm the Biggest Thing in the Ocean! by Kevin Sherry
3.0
To be fair, this review should be taken with a grain of salt as the book I got from the library was missing an entire page in the middle of the story.
Overall my impression is thus - the squid is bragging about how big he is but in classic fashion “there’s always a bigger fish”.
I don’t feel like he learns anything and the book missed an opportunity to be a concept book as it counted things he was bigger than. Also I’m torn if seeing squid get swallowed may traumatize younger readers especially since you see him half hanging out of the whales mouth.
I wouldn’t rush out to get this one unless your child has a particular fascination with being big or squids.
Also the jelly fish just looks funny in a way I can’t get over.
