About the Book

A heartfelt and humorous adventure from the bottom of the sea and beyond, following one fish on an epic journey. Deep, deep, deep under the sea … lives Blobfish! Blobfish loves telling jokes, although he has no one to share them with, so he sets off on an adventure to find a friend. But sometimes friends turn up in the most unexpected places, even at the bottom of the ocean. This heartfelt and humorous story gently introduces children to themes of friendship, belonging and the issue of plastics in our oceans.

About the Author :
Olaf Falafel is an author, illustrator and a stand-up comedian (which is pretty similar to a stand-up chameleon except he doesn't change colour to blend in with the background). He's the holder of The Funniest Joke of the Edinburgh Fringe and has created and performed several stupidly named comedy shows including Olaf Falafel and the Cheese Of Truth. As well as trying to make people laugh on stage, Olaf draws a lot and tries to come up with funny ideas for kids books. He also has an Art Club on Youtube full of real drawing tips and facts about famous artists. Olaf loves visiting schools too, in 2019 he went to 100 schools in 100 days - when he was done, he put his feet up and had a well earned cup of tea! Olaf's recent books include Unleash Your Creative Monster: A Children's Guide to Writing written by Andy Jones, with lashings of Olaf's jokes and bright and bold illustrations.

Review :
Blobfish is a sad and lonely little fish who has no friends and sets out to find one. His journey is heartfelt and I was surprised when he started hanging out with the wrong crowd. There's an important message here about rubbish, plastic and the ever increasing problem of plastic polluting the ocean, but presented in a way that even 3yo readers can understand. Falafel has created a highly original introduction to environmental issues with a strong narrative about the search for friendship. Fish it out, it’s blobby good. With plenty of fun dialogue in the form of speech and thinks bubbles, this highly amusing, occasionally ridiculous, strikingly illustrated story about looking for friendship has at its heart a vitally important message about plastic pollution and its impact on ocean life. Share with little humans at home and in school. They will love it; so will you. Olaf Falafel’s books always contain jokes, so it’s no surprise to find a few knock-knock gags here. However, Blobfish has a slightly more serious theme than his previous books, showing readers what can happen when litter gets into the sea. There is a happy ending though, and Blobfish himself is a very cute and lovable lonely hero that readers will be rooting for.
