Big Kid Reaction
Dad didn't like this one as much as Mom did. The story has some great humor. The creativity in giving new roles to some of the ocean creatures was wonderful.

Pros:
The story has lots of action (both in illustration and word choice) to keep readers attentive and/or interacting with the book. Some pages speak for themselves, without words, letting a child add his/her own story elements.
Cons:
None, really. Some people may find the dark colors not to their taste.
