GoodBookStall Review:
A wonderfully colourful underwater scene peopled by characters such as Sammy Scallop, Sally Starfish, Kelly Cod and many others. Timothy Turtle offers the youngsters a ride to their school where Miss Lucy Lobster teaches. After school comes a special baseball game and Sammy makes the winning strike for his team which makes him very popular. A few days later Sammy saves his sister from being hit by an anchor but his shell is damaged and a piece broken off. At school next morning his classmates laugh at him, but it is that brokenness that saves the day when Miss Lucy is caught in a trap and Sammy cuts her free with his sharp edge; then he becomes popular again as the others see that it is not what you look like, it is how you behave that matters.
