- Reading
- If underwater peril feels intense, read together and pause to check how the child is finding the characters’ situation. You can also stop at the wildlife conflict and invite their thoughts before continuing.
- Themes
- Protecting a rare ocean creature: The protagonists try to prevent Soggy Bob from taking a rare ocean creature. The conflict raises a question about taking rare wildlife, but the book’s judgement of the characters’ actions is not established.
