In a one-sentence nutshell:
Love Jenni Desmond's illustrations. It seems to be a weird mix between evolution and creation stories - if you're inclined to look that deeply. If not, the slodges are adorable and impart a nice message about sharing. And then they have a ton of slodge babies. Whee!

This is a sweet book about the importance of sharing with others and friendship. It teaches this through a humorous story about a 'slodge' creature learning that they are not the only one in the world. This could also link to current issues about protecting the planet as we all have a duty to look after it. Children will enjoy the fun illustrations and could create their own 'Slodge' stories about learning another important life lesson.
