The story

Bawlfred is the kindest, most helpful Goop around, but when he gets scared he bawls and bawls and can't stop. Cutting through the neighbor's garden for a doughnut, he runs straight into a hissing Fat Cat.

Bawlfred cries so hard his tears turn into a whole ocean full of whales, dolphins and coral. Playing hide and seek with the fish, he meets a lost baby jellyfish with a hungry sea turtle on its tail.

The real place: The Ocean

Three things to tell your kid after the story.

  1. 1Jellyfish have no brain, no heart and no bones, yet they have been drifting through the oceans for millions of years.
  2. 2Some sea turtles, like the giant leatherback, eat mostly jellyfish.
  3. 3Oceans cover more than two thirds of our planet.
