Hey everyone, I’m Ayxan Solongo aka Arden Skye aka TimeFliesAway, a shapeshifter traveling through the multiverse.
This story started a bit sad. I followed a cownose stingray along their underwater adventures. But as they wanted to play with the other underwater inhabitants, it turns out they’re scared of the stingray because they look like ghosts … At least it had a happy end!
Very cute.
The rhymes weren’t always smooth but the wonderfully sweet illustrations balance it out.
I also like the “fascinating facts” list at the end of the book. Didn’t know that stingrays have something in common with bees!
Recommended to all ages, not just kids! It promises exactly what the blurb says.
