Latest review of "The Quickest Claw in the Reef"

WHODUNIUT?  YOU’LL NEVER GUESS!

"Henri van Bentum and PJ Heyliger have once again travelled to deep seas.  In their most recent tale, fourth of a quartet, a fishy trio is appointed to source out an unceasing noise that is disrupting the tranquility of the Coral Reef Community.  

One by one, a colourful host of slippery sleuths volunteer to solve the rackety mystery, transporting the reader through a kaleidoscope of delightfully lively prose richly illustrated with Cuttlefish and Lionfish, a Sea Horse, a Walking Shark, Fiddelhead Crab, plus one particularly gifted Octopus.   

As informative as it is entertaining, “The Quickest Claw in the Reef” is an adventure for all ages not to be missed, so fasten your flippers and dive in!

REVIEW

"The Quickest Claw in the Reef"

Story by Henri van Bentum

Illustrations by PJ Heyliger

This cute little book is fun to read, with many different kinds of fish playing various parts in the story. In a coral reef, we meet up with peacock flounders, cuttlefish, (which change colours at the drop of a hat), a stingray, sea horse, lionfish, fiddlehead crabs, a walking shark and an octopus, amongst other creatures.

Everything is fine, except for one thing:  there is a terrible din in the ocean background that no one can figure out.  Well, Oscar the octopus takes on the case, and you’ll see what happens after that! Kids will enjoy reading and hearing about an amazing little creature that is the loudest thing in the sea.
