| A simple yet clever and very funny picture book. It's the story of a squid who brags about being, well, the biggest thing in the ocean until he discovers that he's not, but then turns that situation around. The illustrations have made me a Kevin Sher...more | |

| I really wanted to love this book. I'd heard so many good things about it, and I do like Kibuishi's art quite a bit, both in this and in Flight, and it simply sounded like my kind of graphic novel. I guess my problem with the story is that it's very...more | |
