Bookroo's summary

Wilfred Walrus and Neville Narwhal struggle as the only non-seals in their class, facing challenges in school activities. They don't get along until Betty Beluga arrives. Smart and independent, Betty excels at football and helps them see the value in their differences. As friendships blossom, the trio learns that standing out can be a strength. Will they embrace their uniqueness and find their place? This heartwarming tale explores friendship and fitting in, resonating with school-aged children.

From the publisher

Wilfred Walrus and Neville Narwhal are the only kids in Miss Blubber’s class who are not seals. Life is tough being the odd ones out - lunchtimes and football matches and school photos all present challenges to the two outliers. And they don’t even like each other very much! When Betty Beluga joins the class, everything changes. Betty is smart and independent and amazing at football. As a friendship forms, Betty helps the two boys to recognise that being different isn’t always a bad thing! A warm, funny tale about friendship and fitting in that school-aged children are sure to identify with. Isabella Bunnell’s joyous watercolour illustrations are complimented by luxuriant packaging.
