Product Description
The squid that charmed a nation is back . . . and hes making a big mess! Not only is this irrepressible squid the biggest thing ever, hes also the best artist in the entire ocean. He squirts ink, for goodness sakes, and there arent many animals in the ocean who can do that! This squid is making a masterpiece that is sure to wow his fellow fish. But perhaps they arent as pleased as he would think? The giant squid that garnered starred reviews from Publishers Weekly and Kirkus for his larger-than-life performance in Im the Biggest Thing in the Ocean is sure to delight fans with this lively and fresh follow-up that includes a double gatefold spread featuring the squids impressive artwork!

 Fun read-aloud July 19, 2008

The giant squid is hysterical. The first book is better with inferencing skills, but you can do a lot with this one as well. Pair with other ocean books and ask lots of higher order questions..
-Could he really paint underwater?
-What could he use for paint? (Octopus ink:))
-Why is he quiet when the shark goes by? (First book)
-Would all these animals live in the same ocean areas in real life?
-Do squids have mustaches?
 Another sequel that never should have been written July 15, 2008

I loved I'm the Biggest Thing in the Ocean. It works beautifully as a read aloud, and both children and adults appreciate its humor.
I wish I could say the same thing about I'm the Best Artist in the Ocean. It sadly suffers from the same problem so many sequels do, relying too heavily on the structure and humor of the original. In this case, it falls flat, particularly the ending, which younger children will not comprehend without the explanation of an adult. I really wish the author had stopped while he was ahead.
