A factual (and funny) introduction to the parrotfish and its incredible somewhat-squirmy superpower, from the team that brought you Stinkbird Has a Superpower.
Just wait till you hear what a parrotfish can do! You may know they live in warm tropical waters, have an interesting trick for hiding from predators, and have crazy-incredible teeth. But they also do something that no other fish can do—and Parrotfish is eager to tell you all about it.
There’s just one problem—nosy Hammerhead Shark keeps interrupting to talk about himself.
But even Hammerhead gets intrigued and bellows, “WHAT. IS. YOUR. SUPERPOWER!!”
Want to know what it is? Read this book!
Reader beware: you may never look at a day at the beach the same way again.
