Neil, the Amazing Sea Cucumber - Hardcover
Neil, the Amazing Sea Cucumber - Hardcover
by Amelia Tonta (Author), Lucinda Gifford (Illustrator)
With deadpan humor and a one-of-a-kind hero, this wryly clever picture book introduces the most exciting sea cucumber you'll ever meet . . . even if he's the ONLY sea cucumber you'll ever meet!
There's a lot to love about Neil: he's named after a vegetable. Or is a cucumber a fruit? He loves to lie in the sand. And he has a best sea cucumber friend, Sandra, but she floated away in the undertow. Life is rather boring--until Sandra comes back! Unless that's just a pickle someone threw off the side of a boat. . . it's kind of hard to tell. Full of droll humor and vibrant marine social life, this tale of a hapless sea cucumber is all about celebrating even the most boring--er, amazing--underwater creatures.Author Biography

Born and raised in Melbourne, she now lives in Canberra, where she spends her days writing kids' books, staring out the window thinking about kids' books, and occasionally just plain staring out the window.
