The book takes the readers on a journey of discovery as well as realizations as to why taking care of the environment is important. The way Anthony built her characters made them lovable with each turn of the page as the readers have educated about their kindness to the tourists that marvel at them.
The book is not only a subtle reminder, but it is also one that speaks of love for the people around us and the environment. It is a fun way for parents to educate their children about the different sea creatures and the significance of our actions towards our environment. This Christmas, it is time to teach the younger generation about the environment and why we should protect one another.
