Puffing up is stressful, but Penny the Pufferfish can’t seem to stop! She’s so easily startled that she inflates at every little noise. Not only is it embarrassing, but it’s making her ache all over. Can a wise old octopus teach her how to relax? Young readers will love the amazing photography that inspires this delightful story told in verse. It’s a perfect read-aloud for teaching social-emotional learning concepts like managing anxiety.
