Cheer Up, Blobfish!

by Julie Murphy, Rachel Tribout (Illustrator)

It's the Festival of Fish – the biggest party of the year! Everyone seems to be having a great time … except for Blobfish. The clownfish tells some funny gags, the sawfish does magic tricks and the dolphin swims loop-the-loops, but no-one can make Blobfish happy.

Or can they?

Featuring energetic rhyme, joyful illustrations and some fascinating blobfish facts, Cheer Up, Blobfish! is a celebration of difference that stars one VERY misunderstood sea creature.

Educational, inspirational, recreational. I was also crying before we started but not anymore.
