A timid squid's tall tales lead to real danger. Can he find true courage when it matters most?
Stubby, a timid squid, finds himself in a bind after exaggerating his bravery to impress his pen pal, Razor Clam. As his fictional tales of heroism spiral out of control, Stubby faces a real-life challenge that tests his courage. Will his imagined bravery help him navigate the perilous waters ahead, or will he be caught in his own web of stories? Dive into this delightful tale of self-acceptance and courage, where Stubby learns that true bravery comes from within.
A sweet and fun and clever story about accepting yourself for who you are and being brave. A great read-aloud picture book about a scaredy squid named Stubby (a stubby squid, rossia pacifica) who makes a BIG MISTAKE . . . getting a pen pal. Intimidated by his new pen pal’s name–Razor Clam–and the extraordinary stories Razor writes about his exploits, Stubby gets carried away making up fantastic stories of his own bravery that end up putting him in hot water when something real and scary happens. But perhaps all his brave imaginings have made him brave enough to find a happy ending?
