All the creatures of the sea are busy doing their thing while crab bakes delicious pastries. Life continues as “normal” until a large pile of garbage is dumped into the ocean and over a slice of cake, they problem solve what to do.

I thought the lesson of this book was that food brings communities together and my daughter thought the lesson of this book was not to pollute. Both morals are there and it says something about a book when it can cover two very different topics - conveying the quirky nature of this book.
