This review was just amazing! We couldn't fit it all on the image but will add it to the alt description!

This review was just amazing! Read the full review below:

"Larry Daley's Float is a dazzling picture book that perfectly captures the humorous chaos of a child's imagination. This delightful tale of Rosie, a spirited first-grader, and her relentless pursuit of a cheeky, snack-stealing seagull is a treat for both kids and the adults reading along. Daley's clever storytelling and vibrant illustrations bring the aquarium to life in a way that is both exciting and immersive. What makes Float so special is its blend of madcap action and heartfelt lessons. While following Rosie's frantic chase through the exhibits—where she encounters hidden sea turtles and Bubbles the mischievous octopus—young readers also learn about managing frustration and pausing to appreciate the unexpected moments in life. It's a journey filled with giggles and discovery, and Daley's background in children's media shines through in every playful detail. This book is more than just an adventure; it's an educational and emotional experience rolled into a single, beautifully illustrated package. With its quirky humor and ultimately kind message, Float is destined to become a beloved and often-revisited favorite on any family's bookshelf." -Chelsea via Goodreads
