Description

From author-illustrator Jarvis comes a buoyant underwater tale about a little blue fish who learns that being dazzling isn’t what makes you special.Coral Reef City is home to the most brilliant tropical fish in the ocean. Sparkling and multicolored, they swim around and around, showing off. And then there’s Terry. Small, blue, and ordinary, Terry spends his days playing hiding games with his friends and wishing the tropical fish would play with him, too. So with the help of his friends, Terry fashions a flashy, dazzling costume and transforms into Tropical Terry. But life as the center of attention isn’t quite everything Terry dreamed it would be — especially once Eddie the Eel shows up, hungry for dinner. In a bright, cheerful story, Jarvisuses his vibrant art and heartwarming wit to prove that sometimes the things you thought made you unremarkable are actually the most special qualities of all.

  • Simple and straight forward book that exemplifies that looks aren't everything.
My daughter loves it. Simple and straight forward book that exemplifies that looks aren't everything.

  • The book shows children how important friendships are
Terry is a plain blue fish that lives in Coral City where all the colourful fish live. He has two good friends, Cilla the Crab and Steve the Sea Snail. Every day they play games together such as ‘Shark Speed’ and ‘Dodge the Dolphin’. They also play ‘hide-a-fish’ and Terry always wins. He asks the other fish to play but they don’t like Terry very much as he is dull and boring and not colourful like them. One day Terry has an idea. He gathers lots of stuff from the sea that is colourful and sticks them on himself using seaweed. Now he is very colourful and announces that he is called ‘Tropical Terry’, not just Terry. Unfortunately, Tropical Terry soon learns that it isn’t always a good thing to be so bright when Eddie the Eel turns up looking for his lunch and he has his eye on him. Will Tropical Terry get away or will he end up as fish food? Tropical Terry is a fun, young children’s book. It is brightly coloured and the illustrations are just divine and really work on the blue background. This helps to make the scenes have that under-the-sea look about them. The book shows children how important friendships are and also that it’s best to be you and not try to become someone different just to fit in. It is a fun, charming story with a great message. It would make a wonderful class read too. Book Reviewed on Whispering Stories Book Blog *I received a free copy of this book, which I voluntarily reviewed ... show more

  • Liking Who You Are Without Changing You or Good Friends Are Hard to Come By.
Terry is just a regular ocean fish that likes to play games with his friends Cilla the Crab and Steve the Sea Snail. Their favorite game is hide-a-fish (kind of like hide and seek, but where you hide by blending in with your environment). Although Terry likes his friends, really wants to be liked by the other ocean fish, but they are bright and colorful and won’t have anything to do with a plain fish like Terry. Then, Terry gets a brilliant idea, becomes TROPICAL TERRY, and everything changes. TROPICAL TERRY is bright and colorful and liked by all the other fish, but he isn’t as good a fish as regular Terry. ... show more
