"A rumor spread throughout the deep sea.
Everyone was talking about it. A jellyfish
bus was taking deep sea creatures to the
night bazaar!
Slowpoke picked up an octopus whose
legs were too short for long-distance
travel, and a mussel from Salt Lake,
and a teeny-tiny fish."
Take an underwater ocean voyage with Slowpoke, the jellyfish bus, and his many passengers. True to his name, Slowpoke is unlike the other jellyfish buses in his part of the upper ocean environment. Fired because he doesn't meet his company's expectations, Slowpoke decides to take time for a vacation. After a few days of sleeping and sunbathing, Slowpoke loses interest in sitting still.
He decides to go deeper into the ocean and see what he might discover there. It's a long, deep dive; it leads to darkness, cold and silence. Should he turn back? When a light suddenly appears, he comes face-to-face with an anglerfish. To his surprise the fish wants a ride to the Ocean Night Bazaar. As they travel, readers learn about other creatures and areas of the deep ocean. Slowpoke becomes their transport to the Bazaar, for a variety of reasons. Their trip together is filled with conversations, concerns, and new learning.
Upon arrival at the Night Bazaar, the passengers spill out of the bus and find their way to the glory of their destination. Slowpoke now has the work he loves in a totally different part of the ocean. The gatefold that opens upon arrival allows readers a chance to see the many joys of underwater life as depicted in this colorful, informative graphic novel. Kids who are keen to learn facts as they enjoy an ocean adventure will be delighted to read this one.
