The jellyfish is always hiding on every page but they only find it right at the end!
I love this book about exploring!
I liked spotting the jellyfish peeping out in every picture.
The lady was looking everywhere for the jellyfish but he was hiding from her. She just wanted to meet him but he was too shy. But he was actually always there. I like the book because the jellyfish is so clever and beautiful and loves being in the water
The illustrations really make the story so brilliant. The words tell you one thing and the pictures another. It really makes you understand that there are 2 sides to every story.
I love the pictures in this book, the story is also really good and about adventure. I especially love how the giant arctic jellyfish like to hide in every picture and you have to spot him.
I like the pictures that show what all the people are doing in the boat and when they see the jellyfish just before they leave the arctic
I thought they would find it!
It was ok. I did not expect it to be a children's picture book but if that is what you are looking for it was pretty good. The best part was the amazing illustrations which really accentuated the story and gave it some more character.
I loved that Dr Morley didn't give up. My favourite bit was at the end when she caught sight of the giant Arctic jellyfish. The pictures in the book were relaxing. I would recommend this book.
A nice picture book for an older reader
This book owes a great debt to Sophie Blackall’s Hello, Lighthouse! Gorgeous illustrations but I would have loved this to be about a real person and a real quest.
