Critics Review

It’s witty, warm and has a cast
of characters made for doing funny
voices.

* Gurgle *

A story about remembering
who you are (even if that’s only
triggered by the prospect of
being eaten by an eel named
Eddie), the illustrations are
beautifully psychedelic.

* Daily Post (Wales) *
“[…] the illustrations are beautifully psychedelic […] will make little ones rather keen to draw their own underwater world.” * Grimsby Telegraph/ Bristol Post *
“Tropical Terry really explains how important friendships are and also, why you shouldn’t try to change just to ‘fit in’.” * MeHimTheDogAndTheBaby *
“[…] a lovely picture book about appreciating what makes everyone unique and how we can undervalue individuals at first glance.” * SevenStories, HooksIntoBooks, Autumn Pack *
