From the publisher

Perfect for fans of Battle Bunny and Z Is for Moose, this irresistible book within a book introduces us to Blobfish, known as the "ugliest fish in the sea"...or is he actually the fish who will steal our hearts?

Did you know that the deepest parts of the ocean are over one mile deep--too far down for any sunlight to reach? That's where Blobfish lives. But this book isn't about Blobfish...or is it?

This true (clever) story about the (misunderstood) Blobfish is sure to make you smile. Full of fun facts about sea creatures in the deepest reaches of the ocean, this book is perfect for any science lover. From Jessica Olien, the author/illustrator of Shark Detective.


What happens when the "ugliest fish in the sea" gets to tell his own story?


  • Self-Esteem for Kids: Follow Blobfish on his journey from feeling sad about being called "the world's ugliest animal" to learning that being different is what makes him special.
  • Deep Sea Creatures: Discover a whole cast of amazing real-life animals, including the glowing Jewel Squid, the toothy Viperfish, and the giant Spider Crab!
  • A Book Within a Book: Laugh along as the character Blobfish reads this very book and provides hilarious commentary while waiting for his turn in the spotlight.
  • STEM for Kids: Packed with accessible science facts about marine biology, bioluminescence, and why the Blobfish is an important endangered species.
