Why read it?
1 author picked Cyrus the Unsinkable Sea Serpent as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love stories about sea monsters and this was one of my favourites as a kid. It’s hard being Cyrus. Humans are afraid of sea monsters like him, and Shark thinks he’s too cowardly to sink ships. But the kindly sea serpent resists peer pressure and saves the day when he comes to the rescue of a ship in need. A sweet and surprising story about kindness and being true to yourself from a real legend of children’s literature, Bill Peet.
From Vikki's list on The best picture books about magical creatures other than dragons and unicorns.
