I’m the Biggest Thing in the Ocean

A giant squid swims through the ocean bragging that he's bigger than the shrimp, the crab, and the clams — until something much, much bigger shows up.

For the kid who announces their own greatness at full volume in every room they enter, this squid is basically kin.

• Big idea: Confidence is great, but the ocean is big — there's always something bigger than you.
• Vibes: Boastful, funny, big and bold like its collage art.

• enjoy silly bragging characters
• like to shout out the funny lines during read-aloud
• are working on handling being not-the-biggest (or best) at something
• respond well to bold, simple pictures and short, punchy text

• Story & character: What are some of the things the squid says he's bigger than?
• Feelings & empathy: How do you think the squid felt when he found something bigger than him?
• Real-life connection: Have you ever felt really proud of something, like the squid does?
• Imagination: If you were the biggest thing in the ocean, what would you brag about?
