Thanks Walker Books for sending me a copy for review

No matter what age you are, I strongly suggest getting yourself a copy of this to cheer you up. Blobfish has a great message about finding friendship and battling loneliness for kids, but for adults it’s a real fun time. It also has a little message about plastic pollution and how that impacts fish as a bonus too!

This is clearly written so that adults reading this book to kids can have a laugh at the dialogue going on, the silly little moments and the ridiculousness of the whole story. I loved this.

The illustrations are also fun and really pretty to look at, but the humour in this book is what wins it for me. I literally read this picture book to my parents because I thought it was that funny, and yes, they enjoyed it too.
