Description

A funny, affectionate and reassuring take on the bad day blues from the bestselling creator of I Am Bat and Colin and Lee, Carrot and Pea.

Seahorse is Furious is having a bad day, in a terrible week, in an awful ocean. He woke up wrong and stubbed his tail and everything is wet!

So don't tell him funny stories or give him a hug, and DEFINITELY don't give him his favourite snacks on his special plate…

Because Seahorse is furious and there is NOTHING you can do about it. Or is there...?

Help little ones find the way out of a very bad mood with this gentle and relatable book.
Perfect for encouraging conversations about feelings!
Bold, graphic and appealing artwork showing a delightful underwater world.
