Have you ever woken up to the feeling that everything about your day is wrong?

 

If you have then you will know exactly how Seahorse is feeling in this gorgeous and very funny picturebook. And if you haven’t, well then consider this a warning about how bad it can get…

 

Seahorse is not only having a bad day, but also a terrible week and the ocean is simply awful! Not only did he wake up all wrong, but he also then stubbed his tail and everything around him is wet, even his breakfast!

 

What is Seahorse going to do to get back on track? He doesn’t know but his friends, helpful as they like to be, have a few ideas. A hug? Absolutely not, Seahorse does not do hugs. A selection of his favourite snacks on his special plate…? Don’t be silly, now why would he want that?

 

But wait a moment, it seems Seahorse might be tempted to try a little snack and that maybe that hug might not be such a bad idea… Maybe Seahorse is having a particularly bad day but there may be some things his friends can do… Utterly charming.
