Well written!
We loved this book! I especially loved the ways the author played on words and made the book silly and fun. It also teaches a great lesson about individuality and not following the crowd.

Based, unexpectedly, on a real-life critter, Edie is a stingray who demands her own way about things – to the extent that all the other rays in her fever (thanks, end-matter!) insist she should turn round and swim in the direction of the consensus. Not for her… This is alright, but no more – the rhymes and meter of the narrative prove too much of a challenge for the author in this instance, and the artwork is very cartoonish, with ruddy great eyelashes given to Edie to cutesify. The jury's still out on the number of puns based on sealife – "does the horseshoe crab make certain that the seahorse has on shoes?" etc – they're certainly not everywhere, which might be a good thing, but feel half-hearted when we do get them. I don't wish it ill, but I wasn't enamoured – yet it deserves a look for the moral highlighting individuality.
