A captivating and award-winning bedtime story by picture book creator Ruth Paul, with luminous illustrations, language evocative of the deep blue sea - and a big surprise when you turn out the lights.
Chased to the depths of the bottomless blue,
What does a tiny Jellyfish do?
Jellyfish is quietly crooning in the shallows, when knife-nosed Swordfish swooshes, races and chases her, down, down, down, deep into the dark blue sea.
At that moment, stealthy Squid stretches a tentacle, tussling and tossing Swordfish in the darkness.
Who will help Swordfish? He makes a last wish...
Then ...
ON goes a light - it's Jellyfish!
This delightfully funny bedtime story by an award-winning writer and illustrator has a glow-in-the-dark cover for kids to discover once the lights are turned out.
