I am Jellyfish by Ruth Paul (Puffin) is a charming story about a jellyfish who is driven to the depths of the deep blue ocean by swordfish – while she is there, she works out her true purpose.
Keep your hands and brain busy with glue, tape and scissors – and have crafty fun with Fifi: make a glow-in-the-dark jellyfish for your next under the sea disco.
