A ripple of commotion beneath the waves

A pufferfish’s playful pop sets off a chain of disruptions in an otherwise quiet ocean, involving the surrounding sea creatures and a baby whale. The story’s central contrast is between solitary calm and the cascading effects of one small action. As a picture-book companion to *The Quiet Forest*, it brings Charlotte Offsay’s quiet-versus-commotion premise to an underwater setting, with marine life at the heart of the action.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy picture books about ocean animals
  • Families and educators looking for a story centered on quiet, commotion, and restoring calm

Book overview

When a playful pufferfish's actions cause a snowball effect disrupting the peace of the other sea creatures, it's up to the ocean and a baby whale to restore quiet once more in this "amusing and appealing" (School Library Journal, starred review) picture book companion to The Quiet Forest.

Deep beneath the waves, a pufferfish putters alone. A playful puffer in a quiet, nothing-much-happening ocean. Until...one small pop! sets off a chain of outrageous events, causing the whole ocean to have a very frazzled day indeed!

Can the sea creatures find a way to bring quiet back to their underwater home?
