I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.
A supersweet and cute picture book about a little round creature (squid/jelly fish probably) who is off for an adventure to find a place for himself. A theme we see quite a bit in picture books but I always enjoy them, especially when they have such a wonderful and sweet ending like this one has! Plus, his adventure was so much fun and I enjoyed seeing him pass various animals and sea stuff on his way to find the ultimate place for him. He was so brave to go all alone into the deep unknown.
The art was simple, but very cute!

Cute book for younger children. Melville looks for the perfect spot for him to be himself. The illustrations are fun and colorful. I think small children will enjoy this short book.
Thank you NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the opportunity to review this ARC.

Melville is a tiny little book about a squishy purple sea creature. He wants to explore the sea and find the right place for him when his Mumma calls him for a hug. Melville finds schools of fish, swims among stingrays, alongside whales, and even sees pirates. He gets tired of finding the right place for him and goes back to his Mumma. He declares that it is indeed the best place for him.
The illustrations are soft and beautiful. The message is just as beautiful. Each page has mostly a line of text that makes it super easy to read for little ones. Melville would be a lovely bedtime book for kids. It's a very small book, so parents might have to linger over each page a bit longer.

This sweet book tells the story of Melville, a small sea creature who is looking for the best place that is just for him. His adventure leads his through the sea where he encounters many creatures who are different from him.
I thought this book was adorable. The illustrations are simple, but colorful and bright. I loved how the same colors were used throughout. There weren’t too many words on each page which will make it perfect for story time with children and also a good reference for first learning to read.
Overall I enjoyed this sweet book. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the chance to read this advanced copy.

This book is so adorable! I love the little adventure Melville goes on to find their place in the world! The graphics are beautiful and the story flows nicely!
I did read this to my daughter and she loves the different sea creatures that were featured as well! Happy ending with a big hug to momma at the end! I would go out of my way to purchase this book!
