Sherri the Shrimp Saves the Day by George J. Linsenmeyer, III is a cute children's picture book. Everyone is in an uproar – their best friend, Octavius the Octopus, has disappeared and is nowhere to be found. Then Steve the Swordfish announces he has found Octavius trapped in a cage, deep on the ocean floor! He's locked in and can't get out. Everyone tries to get the lock open, but it's too strong. Sam the Seahorse disappears and eventually returns with Sherri the Shrimp – the smallest of them all. Can she succeed where the others failed? Will Octavius finally be freed?
Sherri the Shrimp Saves the Day by George J. Linsenmeyer, III is a wonderful kids' book with amazing illustrations by Carolyn Hampton. It's a fun story for kids, but it is also educational, teaching them a few life lessons along the way. Most importantly, it teaches them that determination is key to winning the day. It's about friends pulling together and showing that size doesn't matter – sometimes the smallest can be the strongest. The animal characters in this story have human-like personalities, making them likable and easy for kids to relate to. This is a great way of teaching kids about life; fun stories centered around animals are easier for kids to grasp and make learning more enjoyable. This is a lovely story, with illustrations that help bring it to life. Highly recommended for kids and their caregivers and should even be included in school reading sessions.
