E. B. White Award–winning author: "Ample aquatic puns and boisterous, mixed-media artwork . . . A splashy story about fitting in." —Publishers Weekly
Sea monster Ernest is starting his first day of school. But starting school is a big job! Fitting in when you're a sea monster is tough enough, and there's so much to learn and do—reading, singing, playing hide-and-seek with the fishermen, lunchtime in the algae patch . . .
This funny, charming twist on the worries and joys of starting school will reassure and delight the smallest children and the largest sea monsters alike.
"Genuine enthusiasm and humor." —School Library Journal
