Neil, the Amazing Sea Cucumber Hardcover Book

$18.99

Deadpan humor and a one-of-a-kind hero mark Neil as 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 wry 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.
