Meet Melville, a purple, softly round, beyond-adorable sea creature who is off to "find a place for just me."
Leaving his warm and loving mama behind, Melville the sea creature sets off for an adventure, and he knows just the kind of place he's looking for. Along the way, he gets lost (briefly), encounters sharks and other big sea creatures, and floats past a pirate ship. Melville checks out a few spots, but all fall short of his dream place...until, weary from his adventures, he finds his way back to his mama—a place that is "just right."

      PreS-K-Melville, a purple aquatic youngster who most closely resembles a smiling balloon, roams the ocean searching for a place "just for me." In looking for a quiet, cozy place, he dodges dangerous creatures and heads into unknown waters. He narrates his adventure with reassuring words that motivate him on his journey through the ocean and away from his home. But just like any young explorer, he tires and looks for something familiar and closer to home. He finds it in the arms of his mother. Schmid's (A Pet For Petunia) illustrations contain a variety of images children will find familiar (shark, crab, whale), fun (shipwreck), and possibly ask questions about (anemone). VERDICT A quick, reassuring read about the comfort that comes from a loving hug. Not essential, but sweet.-Tanya Boudreau, Cold Lake P. L., Alta.
