Summary: A giant squid brags about being bigger than everything else in the ocean-almost.
Strengths: There are very cute illustrations and the text and pictures do a good job at corresponding with each other. The many double page spreads throughout the book works well with the story as well as the folding pages containing repeated actions.
Concerns: The text ends before the book ends and leaves it up to the pictures to finish off the story. Although the illustrations are good, I didn't like how the text just ended. I feel some of the vocabulary does not correspond to the elementary level. In addition, some of the illustrations of the creatures are scary looking.
Age level: PreK-Primary
Classroom Use: Teaches about the ocean and the size of creatures
