Royal Blue

This story personalises the starfish, allowing the reader to identify with it and see it as a living creature, which belongs in its natural habitat rather than an object to collect. Some simple facts about starfish are included on the last page. Young and older children alike will enjoy this story, whether read to or for them to engage with. The book presents an ecological message in a way young children will understand, while matching the comprehension age of 8-11 years.
