Blobfish
Age 3+
Social Issues: Environment & Green Issues
A heartfelt and humorous adventure from the bottom of the sea and beyond, following one fish on an epic journey.
Deep, deep, deep under the sea … lives Blobfish! Blobfish loves telling jokes, although he has no one to share them with, so he sets off on an adventure to find a friend. But sometimes friends turn up in the most unexpected places, even at the bottom of the ocean. This heartfelt and humorous story gently introduces children to themes of friendship, belonging and the issue of plastics in our oceans.

Reviews
I laughed out loud multiple times and couldn’t wipe the smile off my face! It was also quite poignant at times, and brought up the important environmental issue of plastics in the ocean. It is heartfelt and SUPER funny (as I may have mentioned) and manages to deal with issues of belonging, making friends, and taking care of our oceans. I thoroughly enjoyed this hilarious story that cleverly uses humour as a tool to take the edge off a serious environmental topic.
