Blob is a short, World Book Day exclusive book that delivers a funny and heartwarming story about an unlikely friendship and very strange animals. This description has been extended to meet the word limit. The story introduces a shy, young boy named Bob, whose life takes an utterly bizarre turn during a class trip to the local aquarium. While staring into one of the tanks, Bob spots the most peculiar and unattractive fish he has ever seen: a blobfish named, appropriately enough, Blob. The blobfish, often cited as the world's saddest-looking creature, is anything but sad in Bob's eyes. Bob feels an instant connection to the strange, gelatinous fish, and through a hilarious series of misadventures, he ends up rescuing Blob from the aquarium’s less-than-kind director. Now, Bob has a blobfish living in his bathtub! Trying to keep a giant, floppy, deep-sea creature a secret from his parents and the world leads to spectacular and soggy chaos. This astonishingly brilliant tale is a celebration of the unconventional and the weird, proving that the most unusual friendships can often be the most rewarding, and that even the ugliest creatures in the world deserve a loving friend and a very big bathtub to call home.
