THE MYSTERIOUS SEA BUNNY

Peter Raymundo

For fans of quirky and informative picture books such as Pink Is for Blobfish and Give Bees a Chance comes a delightful story about a sea slug who is way more than meets the eye.
Shh, we are about to observe the one-inch-long sea bunny as it journeys sloooooowly across the ocean floor! Along the way, we'll learn some interesting facts: how it crawls upside-down using slime, how it breathes through its... um... fluffy-looking backside, and why predators would be in for an unsavory surprise if they ever got ahold of it.
Young readers will float away with loads of new knowledge about this fascinating sea slug species, and they'll be reminded to never judge a book by its cover--or a sea slug by its slime.

Peter Raymundo was twenty-one years old when he went to work for Walt Disney Studios as part of their Feature Animation Division. There he drew (and drew and drew) for films such as Tarzan, Lilo & Stitch, and Mulan. Besides The Mysterious Sea Bunny, Pete is also the author-illustrator of I Am Not a Fish! and the Third Grade Mermaid chapter book series. Pete draws inspiration from the ocean and says it gives him "an endless backdrop for fun and meaningful stories." He and his family live in Celebration, Florida.

[H]umorous, informative, and organic... Who knew a tiny slug could convey so many emotions? The personalities of the characters come through loud and strong - from the endearing and unassuming protagonist to the ravenous villain. Not just another fish story - will be a favorite with fledgling marine biologists and landlubbers everywhere.

[A] delightful enterprise... the playful illustrations capture details of both the darling sea bunny and the vast ocean in a charming, cartoon-like style. Young readers will come away with a flurry of fun facts and a new "furry" favorite.

[E]xuberant, cinematic... Rendered with thick, energetic black outlines and swaths of translucent color, it's infotainment of the best kind - smart, funny, and just the right amount of gross.
