The Search for the Giant Arctic Jellyfish

This is a beautiful book where the every page is filled with color. The illustrator's favorite page is a double page with a polar bear on one side and explorers on the other side. The ice self in the background is huge and imposing which makes the mission seen impossible even though the jellyfish is right below them :( The jellyfish is a kind and calm looking character but is very shy and hiding on most pages. We loved the detail with this book and the message of resilience when things are difficult. Resilience is a big part of our school ethos, so it was an appropriate message for the book.

The Search For the Giant Arctic Jellyfish is a humorous book about a group of explorers looking for the infamous ‘Giant Arctic Jellyfish’. They think it's impossible, fake, and all just a myth, but little did they know the jellyfish has been following them the whole time! Chloe Savage’s illustrations are beautiful, with details everywhere. From the bin filling up, to the food slowly going down, there is something different about each page. Chloe Savage has successfully shown the difficult nature of exploring, with the crew getting more tired as the days go by. I think this is a good book for ages 5+ and anyone interested in a funny story. 7.5/10!

I think that this book shows perseverance how the women and her group go on a search for a giant arctic jellyfish but after lots of trying and hard work they eventually get tired and go away.

The Giant Arctic Jellyfish is a wonderful story about a determined scientist called Dr Morley, as she's on an expedition with her crew searching for the Giant Arctic Jellyfish, whilst it's hiding in the depths of the icy arctic ocean. I love all the careful, intricate detail in this book and how each little illustration tells its own story. The mesmerising watercolours, the hues of blue, green and white all give this amazing realistic feel of the cold, snowy arctic and I really like how Dr Morley's crew is all dressed in red, contrasting boldly on the cold shades of the North. I also particularly love how on each page the irony on how Jellyfish is hiding, we can see it on the page, but the characters can't. All in all, I would rate this book a 9/10, for sealife lovers ages 4 and over.

Very detailed pictures. It feels like you are part of the adventure. I like how you laid out the equipment on the first page. I cant get my head round how she came up with this story. I like how even if you cant read it you can understand it. It is a book that I would like to buy as a person to inspire me .

The Giant Arctic Jellyfish is probably my most favourite kids book I have ever read in my life. The illustrations really tell us a lot about the journey and travels of Dr Morley. The Giant Arctic Jellyfish is always just around the corner, just out of reach until the very end, when Dr Morley finally finds the Giant Arctic Jellyfish just when she was about to give up, which shows us to always pursue our dreams and never give up, even in the face of defeat. For me I think this is an amazing book which sinks into our thoughts. Well done and congratulations to Chloe Savage, 9 out of 10 for me.

The Search for the Giant Arctic Jellyfish is a touching book that reminds me to never give up. The story is about a scientist named Dr Morley who embarks on a quest to find the Giant Arctic Jellyfish but faces countless challenges along the way. My favourite illustration is the Northern Lights because it adds a sense of humour to the plot and the Jellyfish is glowing in the dark sea. I love how the illustrations tell one story and the text tell another story because it helps me see both sides of the story. I love how Chloe Savage leaves a cliffhanger at the end which gives a small glimpse of hope. The cross sections show incredible amounts of small details which I love exploring. I like how the Giant Arctic Jellyfish is always hiding away in the shadows. I would recommend this to people who are very creative and love science and exploration. 9/10 from me. 😊

The Search For The Giant Arctic Jellyfish is a charmingly illustrated book about a woman called Doctor Morley, and her quest to find a creature everyone talks about, but no one has found; the Giant Arctic Jellyfish. I love this book because of the use of irony. It was painfully satisfying to read because Doctor Morley couldn’t find the Jellyfish, but the jellyfish was always RIGHT THERE! I also loved the Jellyfish’s character because the jellyfish is sweet and shy, not brave enough to raise a tentacle. The little details, for example the expressions, the proposal beneath the northern lights, the cross - sections, everything, just tie it all together. I would recommend this book to anyone, anywhere, that has a passion for jellyfish, or the arctic. I think the book is aimed at children aged 6 +. Overall, a 10/10 for me! 😀

The Search For The Giant Arctic Jellyfish is an impeccable novella about a team of stoic scientists led by Dr. Marina who venture on an intrepid expedition to discover an elusive and colossal jellyfish in the icy Arctic Ocean. They face challenges galore like the insipid cold, menacing icebergs and malfunctioning equipment. Each scientist is a unique character and the reader feels like they are on the journey too. My favourite scene is the magical green sky the night they set off on the odyssey. It represents their hopes and dreams as they discover a slew of Arctic creatures along the way. I won’t give away whether the tenacious scientists find the mesmerising jellyfish but this book is sure to inspire every young scientist out there who love adventures and nature.

This is a lovely book about a scientist looking for something that's right there. Dr Morley has always desired to find the Giant Arctic Jellyfish. I like how Dr Morley is looking for the jellyfish even though it's always there. I also noticed how at the beginning of the story there were brighter colours and to the end the colours were dull and dark. I’d say this book is age 5+. I give this book a 9/10😊.

Emilie

The Search for the Giant Arctic Jellyfish is about an amazing scientist called Dr Morely. Who has for her whole life studied something everyone talks about but has never seen the Giant Arctic Jellyfish. My favourite spread is the one with the Aurora Borealis. This page has no words but you don't need words all you have to do is look (there is even someone proposing). I love how Chloe Savage has used warm colours at the start when they are leaving home and gradually they start to get colder until it is all white and blue. The cross section is very interesting because you can see everybody doing everything they want to do. The chef is even having a shower with his hat on. I would recommend this book for children aged 11 years and over and I would give it a 9/10.

Reya

The Search for the Giant Arctic Jellyfish is an inspiring story about Dr Morley searching for this elusive jellyfish. The story uses irony, a technique which allows us to see the jellyfish Dr Morley is looking for but she can’t see it. I also love how there are two stories happening at once, for example the jellyfish is always there but too shy to say hi and Dr Morley is very annoyed and disappointed that she can’t find it. Something interesting about this book is that at the beginning of the story when they sail away on their massive boat the boat is bright red and the town is grey and sad as if the boat gives hope and the town doesn’t. The crew on the ship each have their own little story. Sometimes everyone wants to have a shower but someone is taking forever, two people even propose under the northern lights and the man’s beard becomes messier and messier. I really like how this story explores the theme of failure and never giving up and how Dr Morley is so resilient. I would recommend this book to anyone who always feels like a failure and ages 4+ 10/10

The Search For The Giant Arctic Jellyfish is an inspirational story about a scientist called Dr Morely. She really wants to find the Giant Arctic Jellyfish but she simply can’t. The Giant Arctic Jellyfish always hides away from Dr Morely when she’s very close to spotting it. I like this book because it shows you that you should always persevere and never give up on your dreams. It also shows you that not everything can go your way and if something doesn’t go your way, you just have to carry on with life. My favourite double page spread was when Dr Morely and her crew find a pod of beluga whales and the Giant Arctic Jellyfish is right behind them. This is my favourite because it makes me want them to turn around. I really like the colours in this book because it’s mostly different shades of blue and white. There is also red for the boat and the crew’s uniforms. I would recommend this book to anyone. 10/10!

Nadia

This is a book about Dr Morley and her quest for the giant arctic jellyfish. I love this book because of all of the irony that appears in this book. I also enjoy how there are two stories at once and it is really fun to try and spot the jellyfish on each page. I also like that at the beginning there is a dawn when they left suggesting that this is a new beginning and also when the crew left on the ship there was a flock of birds as if the birds were migrating along with the ship. The colour scheme also makes you feel cold like you are in the north pole. I also love all of the cross sections because it gives you an insight on how the crew live and how resilient they have to be. This is a great book and i would rate it 10/10

Louis

Latymer Prep Shadowers

The Giant Arctic Jellyfish is a story about a persevering scientist, and an ever-elusive jellyfish. Dr Morley is determined to find the jellyfish, but the jellyfish is always hiding and too shy to say hello. I really like the colour theme of the Arctic spreads, because of the isolated, icy whites and blues. I like the subtle clues in the cross-sections of the lessening food, in the chef with only two fish for supper, and the bins overflowing. I also like the different patterns on the crew’s jumpers to distinguish each other. I think the moral is to just keep going, even if you’re failing. I would rate this a 9/10 and recommend it to 5+

James

Latymer Prep Shadowers

The Search For The Giant Arctic Jellyfish is a great book about resilience and how we should never give up. My favourite illustration is a double page spread where Dr Morley and her crew are looking at the narwhals wondering if they know where to find the jellyfish. I love how you can see the world above and under the surface, I could really see how the two are so different. I find that the way the jellyfish is illustrated is really interesting. The jellyfish is quite shy, so Chloe Savage decided to make the way the jellyfish was painted look quite faint and use a mixture of cold and warm colours to express that the jellyfish was shy. The Giant Arctic Jellyfish is so cute, and at the end I felt quite proud that the Giant Arctic Jellyfish was brave enough to stick a tentacle out and give a small wave. The colour scheme really makes me feel a bit cold, like I’m actually in the Arctic! I simply adore this book, and I wish I had come across it sooner! A 10/10 from me!

The Giant Arctic Jellyfish is a heartwarming story of humorous failure. It has some wonderful illustrations that are small but intricate that I really love. The illustrations are done with watercolour and are painted very nicely. I enjoyed how the colours were used to portray the emotions, for example after a few months of searching the colours were getting a bit colder and grey because they could not find the Jellyfish. I was very sad that they did not find the Jellyfish but my eyes were glued to the book every single moment of reading it. It is one of my favourites and I recommend it to everyone 2+ because it is fun to find the Jellyfish on every page. I rate it a whopping 10/10. 🤩

The Giant Arctic Jellyfish is a superb book about a Scientist called Dr Morely Whose dream is to find the Giant Arctic Jellyfish.The Moral Of this book is to follow your dreams and never give up.My favourite bit about this book is the illustrations of the Aurora DPS because It’s very swervy and beautiful, also there is someone proposing.Something else i like is the picture with a lot of equipment has so much detail in it would take you ages to do it.I would recommend this book to people with dreams so they can try achieve them as well. This book is for all ages. I believe everyone can enjoy it. 5 stars!

Oliver S

Latymer Prep Shadowers

The Search for the Giant Arctic Jellyfish is a masterpiece. For me the best part about this book is that there isn’t enough writing and lets you look around the place to find separate sub stories that makes the story way more interesting. In the story Dr Morely is trying to find the Giant Arctic Jellyfish, but over time her crew gets homesick, tired and hungry, but reader can see that jellyfish were actually with them all along. This is called Irony. In my opinion it is a great book that deserves a chance at winning. I love it! 10/10, 5 stars

Jasper

Latymer Prep Shadowers

This ironic book is captivating and inclusive from beginning to end. With the story of the search, the story of the crew and the story of the Giant Arctic Jellyfish all going on at the same time, there is plenty to see. My favourite double page spread is this heartwarming, charming paint picture of the Aurora Boreal with the man and woman proposing and the jellyfish and Doctor Morley simply captivated in this magic moment. The fact that Chloe Savage has not put in any words just accentuates the natural beauty of it all. It gives a message saying ‘This is too beautiful to describe. I am speechless.’. Once more, the colour scheme is perfect for the story. Being able to layer all these illustrations on top of each other to hide the jellyfish, or to make one thing more vivid is just a very special talent to have. As the story is very inclusive I would give it to 3+ or maybe even younger. Older is even better for the more complicated meaning of perseverance. Well done to Chloe Savage for having made this very special book. 8.78/10.

This book is a story about Dr Morley and her crew on a wild goose chase for the elusive Giant Arctic Jellyfish (inspired by the real life giant lion's mane jellyfish). This story is set in the Arctic and some scenes are under the beautiful Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights). One of the reasons that I love this book so much is because I can really relate to the perseverance of Dr Morley despite times being tough and I can understand how frustrating it must be if you have been looking for something for ages and it just doesn’t seem to even exist. Chloe Savage has been very clever and has used a technique called irony which is used in lots of books and also plays. Irony means that there are many stories, in this case the story of Dr Morley which is shown in the writing and the very clever story of the Giant Arctic Jellyfish in the pictures who is actually there hidden all the time. Irony is meant to make the reader see and understand more than the characters in the story. This story also has lots of little details and many different crew members all doing their own thing, Chloe shows this by using cross-sections of the ship with all the little rooms. I absolutely love this book and I would recommend it to everyone, a strong 9.5/10 from me. 😊

Liberty

This book is about a scientist and her crew trying to find a ‘mythical creature’, the Giant Arctic Jellyfish. I loved this book because of how there are 2 stories in one book and how irony takes place. It shows how vast the North Pole is and how determined the crew and Dr Morley, the scientist, is. It also shows all the crew’s lives on the ship, even how the chef makes a big cake! The colours really make it feel like the North Pole and how some pages can explain themselves and the natural beauty. This book is for people who pay interest in small details and if you like calm books without too much action. It’s perfect to cuddle up in bed with. I would give this book a 9.8/10.

Chelsea

The Giant Arctic Jellyfish is a tale of hope, never giving up and the beautiful magic of the oceans beneath. As we follow Dr. Morley on her breath-taking journey through the Arctic seas, we experience everything she and her crew experience, we see the proposals, the arguments, the meals, the bedrooms, the moustaches, even! And this gives the story a certain depth to it. Chloe Savage has obviously poured her heart out into this wondrous tale, with many sides to it, many hidden stories. There is the story the words tell, the one the pictures show you and within the pictures, the tales of the crew, the jellyfish and Dr. Morley. I adored reading this book as it is filled to the brim with sweet little details, soft, blue water coloured scenes and carefully coordinated colour choices, working perfectly with the mood of the book. I would recommend this book to anyone over the age of 5 or 6, who adores animals, especially jellyfish! But if you’ve ever felt like you’ve failed at the most important task you had, then you’ll be able to relate warmly to this book. 10/10 from me!

Derin

Latymer Prep Shadowers

The Search for the Giant Arctic Jellyfish is a brilliant book about Dr Morley finding the Giant Arctic Jellyfish. I love the fact that the Giant Arctic Jellyfish is on every page (almost) and you can hunt the Jellyfish on each spread. The illustrations make the whole book feel like 2 different stories. The people are getting very tired and homesick but Dr Morley never gives up on the hunt. It is also really funny near the end where someone proposes to another crewmate. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to work on resilience or somebody who likes jellies. This book would be a 11/10, and this is probably the best picture book I have ever read.🪼🪼🪼

Jensen

The Search for the Giant Arctic Jellyfish is an interesting book about an explorer called Dr. Morley who is trying to catch a glimpse of the Giant Arctic Jellyfish. The illustrations are great in this book because they really show the mood and what is happening at that moment. For example, when Dr. Morley and her crew set off all the colours are bright and happy. This story is mainly about resilience and adventure. My favourite part of the book is when you see the insides of the boat and what all the crew are doing, for example eating in the kitchens or working in the lab. The reason I like that is because I think it is really cosy and warm under the deck of the boat. I really like this book because there are two stories made into one. The story of Dr. Morley and the story of the jellyfish. I really like that at the end of the book Dr.Morley catches one small glimpse of the jellyfish. I would recommend this book to 6+ and I would rate it 10/10.

The Search for the Giant Arctic Jellyfish is an exciting and wonderful book with extremely beautiful illustrations. Dr Morley is trying to look for a Giant Arctic Jellyfish and goes on an adventure to look for it but her luck starts to run out… I really like how Chloe Savage makes the illustrations with extra details and colours especially the Jellyfish. I also like how the Jellyfish is on every page but Dr Morley and his crew can’t see or find it. I find this a marvellous book and would recommend it to children interested in jellyfishes and children ages over 7. I would rate this book a 9/10.😁

Victor

The Search For The Giant Arctic Jellyfish is a heartwarming story about a persevering scientist and a very sneaky and curious jellyfish. I love how the jellyfish is a blend of two colours and also that Dr Morley is always looking the wrong direction. I love how at the start there is a diagram of the ship and that all the crew are wearing different patterned jumpers. We learnt that the reason they wore different colour jumpers was that if they died they could recognize who died. I love how there are lots of different characters in the book and they each have different emotions as in lots of books that doesn't happen. I would rate this a 10/10🪼😃🤩

The search for the giant arctic jellyfish is a lovely book about a character called Dr Morley who has been trying to find the jellyfish her whole life and might or might not find the mysterious jellyfish one last time. There are lots of small details hidden away in the corners of the book like how the crew all have different jumpers and the fisherman in England used to have unique patterns on their jumpers just like the crew. I like the fact that it irritates me that I can see the jellyfish but the crew and Dr Morely cannot see the jellyfish even though the jellyfish is always so close to them. I think the book has some incredible drawings which can have hidden mini drawings inside of them which are sometimes quite funny. I give this book 10/10.

The Giant Arctic Jellyfish is a great book about an explorer desperate to find the Giant arctic Jellyfish. I love how in every illustration from after they've set sail, the Giant Arctic Jellyfish is there . I like how detailed the illustrations of the ship are, like how the chef still wears his hat in the shower or how every crew member wears a different jumper . This book is an amazing book for anyone who loves exploring new places. I give this book an 8/10.

The Search For The Giant Arctic Jellyfish is an amazing book for all ages. The crew on Dr Morley’s ship all have different outfits or are doing different jobs. As soon as Dr Morley and her crew leave the port The Giant Arctic Jellyfish is behind them in every single picture. The pictures are all very detailed and the Jellyfish is in the perfect hiding place every time. The jellyfish’s colour camouflages with the sea and ice but the ship stands out. I Loved the book.11/10😃.

The Giant Arctic jellyfish is an amazingly illustrated book by Chloe Savage. Chloe Savage probably takes quite a few hours just to illustrate one double page spread because of the detail and I appreciate that because the illustrations are just so fantastic. The colours definitely give like cold and arctic vibes but they also give hope through the illustrations. The story is set in the arctic and anyone who loves adventure, irony and sea creatures will love this book. This book is 8.5/10 from me. ♥️ 🪼

This is a wonderful book about a scientist called Dr Morley who embarks on a brilliant expedition to find the mysterious Giant Arctic Jellyfish, who lives in the depths of the deep blue sea. I love the detail and effort put into this book, especially on the pages where you can see what every crew member is doing on the ship, and there are some really funny images, for example in one spread the chef has his hat on in the shower. I love all of the intricate details Chloe Savage has put in the illustrations like how every crew member’s jumper design is different. Usually you would think “Oh, is one member going to drown then?”. But no, she put them in purely for the details, to make them better, better than it was before. I adore the colour palette she used for the illustrations with all of the whites and blues to represent the Arctic perfectly. I give this book a 9/10 and I would recommend it for ages 4 and up.

The Giant Arctic Jellyfish is a hilarious story about a scientist called Dr. Morley and her crew who try to find the fabled Giant Arctic Jellyfish. Each page is filled with amazing drawings and little bits of information which can make you laugh such as on one page, there is a picture of the chef having a shower with his hat on. I like how Dr. Morley’s crew can never find the jellyfish but they are always so close. Chloe Savage uses so much detail in her book like on the boat, and in the North Pole. The illustrations in this book are absolutely exquisite. I would rate this book 10/10. This book is perfect for ages 5 and onwards.

Zain

The Giant Arctic Jellyfish has some of the best illustrations I've ever seen. I think that the fact that you can see inside of the ship in some of the drawings is insane. It’s about someone called Dr Morley who wants to find a jellyfish everyone talks about but nobody has ever seen: The Giant Arctic Jellyfish. The illustrations show the story SO WELL like when you can see how stressed Dr Morley is in one of the illustrations because they can’t find the jellyfish. Something that is quite funny is even though the crew can’t find the jellyfish, you can see The Giant Arctic jellyfish on almost every page! The colours of blue and white go so well together and it makes all of the illustrations just look that much better. To understand the story you should be at least seven years of age, but based on the illustrations you can be any age to read this book. The illustrations bring this book to life and so i give the Giant Arctic Jellyfish a 10/10.

The search for the Giant Arctic Jellyfish is an amazing page turner about a doctor called Morley who’s searching for the giant jellyfish. I really love how we can see the jellyfish but Dr Morley can’t because it keeps me on my toes. I also like the bluey colour palette for the Arctic and the bright vibrant orange for the crew's jumpers because they really stand out. I like how there are lots of tiny details throughout all the pages. I would recommend this book too all ages or to someone who can’t find anything.

Benjamin

The Giant Arctic Jellyfish is a beautifully illustrated book, Chloe Savage did really well to put humorous details in each illustration. The book is said to be non fictional; the Chrysaora Melanaster, The Giant arctic Jellyfish; it is commonly found in the Arctic circle. I really like the fact that each person has a different design on their jumper, Chloe Savage must have researched this because the old fisherman in the olden days had jumpers just like them. I love the cold colours used to make the illustration look cold. It makes me feel cold just looking at it! I would rate this book 10\10 and I think it is suitable for ages 4+.

I loved this book because it is very funny and adventurous about a crew settling to go search for a giant arctic jellyfish. I love how Chloe Savage puts a challenge to find the hidden jellyfish on each page, and the crew don't see it! I really enjoy the feeling that I just want to tell Dr Morely! I also enjoyed how Chloe puts a different scene in each page which really picks up my interest. The different shades of blue really match the book. I LOVED this book It's an 11/10 for me. I would recommend this to ages 2+. It's REALLY good🤣!

Maxim

This is a funny book about a crew searching for the giant arctic jellyfish. I love how there are two stories going on:the writing and the illustrations and I also like how Cloe Savage uses irony in the book when Dr Mauly can’t see the jellyfish yet we can. The illustrations are wonderful since they tell us what each member of the crew is doing on every page. I really appreciate how the illustrator has put so much effort into putting all the little details in the book,for example when she gives a different jumper pattern for each member of the crew. I rate this book 9.5/10 and I recommend this book for all ages.

The Search for the Giant Artic Jellyfish- Chloe Savage This book has two stories, one in words and one in pictures. Chloe Savage really captures the feel of the Arctic. All the detail is wonderfully put and I like how she has the waste paper basket empty at the beginning and it is full of tissues at the end. I also enjoy that you can see what Dr Morley can’t see. All the watercolours match the scene really well and my favourite page was either the double page spread of the boat leaving the harbour or of the Northern Lights at night. It’s truly a fantastic read, from the front to the back the illustrations keep you reading. I’m really lost for words as it’s such a masterpiece. I would rate it a perfect 10/10 and for any age who has time to look at the incredible details.

The search for the Giant Arctic jellyfish is a brain-teasing story about a scientist known as Dr Morley wanting to find the myth of the giant arctic jellyfish. Starting with the front cover the illustrations are already dragging you in, the ghostly figure of a jellyfish, wavy silver streaming from the jellyfish’s head. There are striking double page spreads of the boat on the inside each crew member doing something different . Chloe Savage gives each crew member their own story from whipping up food to some of the crew on lookout looking out for the jellyfish with binoculars. When they’ve been on the water for a long time and still haven’t found the jellyfish their facial expressions start to dampen. This immense detail on every character tells a story of its own but this is not all Chloe Savage has even thought to put the jellyfish in most of the spreads so we can see it but the crew can't. It's like a pantomime! I would recommend this ironic story for anyone who likes stories within a story. I would rate this book 10/10.

Latymer Prep Shadowers

The Search for the Giant Arctic Jellyfish is an amazing story about Dr Morley and her crew, who are trying to hunt down the elusive giant arctic jellyfish. The reason I like this book is because whenever the crew are searching for the jellyfish,it is always near but is either on the other side of something or below them. I love the humorous bits that Chloe has put in. As well as all the lovely illustrations, I particularly like the details as they make the pictures really stand out. I would rate this book 0+ and a 10/10🤩🪼

The Giant Arctic Jellyfish is my favourite book out of the 8, because of how she uses half bleeds and full bleeds. I also love the colour scheme of the illustrations , (blue and green) But my favourite thing about the book. Is how the Giant Arctic Jellyfish is in every picture after they launch from their home. It's always hidden in the shadows but they never see it. I would give this book a 9/10 and appropriate for ages 4+ , I think Chloe Savage did a very good job on this book.

Ada

Latymer Prep Shadowers

This delightful story about Dr. Morley as she embarks on an adventure to search for the elusive Giant Arctic Jellyfish. Every page holds a different, unique story and if you look carefully you can notice how every crew member is living a different story, and however many times you read it you notice something new. You can really delve into the pictures and focus on one individual, for example the chef or the scientists and live their story of living on a ship in the Arctic through the pages. A truly fantastic story, like a pantomime, with the researchers not seeing the jellyfish whereas the reader can see the jellyfish on EVERY page! It agitates you but also persuades you to carry on reading to see if Dr. Morley really does find the jellyfish. A fun book, probably for children 4+ and one of my personal favourites! A good 9/10 for the magnificent illustrations. 😄

I love the book illustration as it’s like a where’s wally and it goes from light 💡 to dark 🖤. I like how there are so many hidden features that if you skim read it you couldn’t find them all. I like on the 6th and 7th page there are so many hidden features in the boat.

I think this book is really nice especially the zoomed in detail and texture. It is however not my favourite but I think that it really shows an bundle of hope through out the book. I would recommend anyone to read this book even if you are older or younger. I think that the pictures makes the octopus feel and look so huge compared to the people. Overall I think this is an nice and made with love book.

kiki

West Buckland Shadowers

it was so good and the detail is unreal but i think that it was based on the lions mane jellyfish so i love that it was nice how you based it off of it but put your own spin on it i love it ( 9.5/10)

this book really shouts out to me that if you give up or it doesn't go your way you shouldn't loose hope in your self or others.

imogen

West Buckland Shadowers

this book really shows that if you give up or think the job that you set your mind to doesn't go to plan gives a sense of losing but if you go that much further and harder you might get to the thing you want to do

Chloe

West Buckland Shadowers

I really like this book because the lady that wrote it also illustrated it too and the lady caught cancer 10 years before the book was published and she began to draw jellyfish when she had cancer and she strated writing the book when she had cancer which is really insparational

Francesca

The book is very nice and the illustrations are so detailed its a good book to read if your looking for a short detailed picture book !

Bode

West Buckland Shadowers

Really good illustrations For the jellyfish and the Icebergs but I didn't like the ending.

Earl

West Buckland Shadowers

I love the pictures and the colours

Thomas

West Buckland Shadowers

I think that the contrast between the ice and the dark sky and ocean is really powerful and the mellow light blue colour of the jellyfish also contrasts the sea, and the red of the boat just adds some colour to the whole piece. the illustrations are also very mellow and simple, and this makes them really powerful.

Jack

really good illustrations less so of the story

I loved the search for the one giant Artic jellyfish because of all of the AMAZING illustrations. The colours were very vibrant and bright . I also loved how you could look for the jellyfish on the pages . On some of the pages the sailors on the ship got very confused because they couldn’t find the jellyfish. 10 / 10 !!!

I liked the idea of the arctic jellyfish hiding and the sea animals distracting the people so they could not see the arctic jellyfish and at the end of the book I liked how the jellyfish revealed his self

This book was very interesting because I enjoyed the adventure. The pictures were very detailed and helped me understand the story. I really liked the font of the writing and the capital letters in the text.

Jacey-Anne

I loved this book because they tried their very best to find the Arctic Jellyfish and believed in themselves. They stayed for a long time and were just about to run out of hope, until their dream became true, they saw the Arctic Jellyfish. The illustrations showed how the jellyfish was actually there all the time, but the scientists were never looking in the right direction at the right time!

Dario

Lionel Readers

The illustrations are really great because of the vibrant colours of the jelly fish and it is all pretty detailed and makes it a lot more fun to read. I especially like the detail in the sky for every page. The water colour makes the book more eye-catching. 10/10!!!

Ayra

The Search for the Arctic Jellyfish is a fantabulous book. The text tells one story but its like the illustration is telling a completely different one. I would 100% recommend this book - go and buy and read it now!

emily

I liked the Arctic Jellyfish because it was very funny and the illustrations linked up with the story in my opinion. It had amazing illustrations and it was fun to read. My favourite part of the book was the part when they were looking for the jellyfish in the sea. Also, The beards and moustaches were funny and they changed a lot.

Adam

Lionel Readers

The Search For The Giant Arctic Jellyfish is very well illustrated and the pictures have their own little story behind it. Like on one of the last few pages you can see someone proposing which is my favourite little part of the story.

This story contains many playful sketches, and it narrates how hope that is not lost can help one succeed. Wonderful creativity and illustration. Love it! 9/10

The Giant Arctic Jellyfish by Chloe Savage in my opinion was underwhelming. While the art was very nice, the story dragged on and it felt like it had no proper ending, and it seems to come to a stop, very abruptly. The jellyfish itself was extremely expressive though eve with the very limited colour palette of all the blues.

Michael

Rebel Readers

I enjoyed this book because they were trying to find the jellyfish and he was hiding and kept poking his head out from his hiding place.I definitely would recommend reading this book because it’s a nice story to read about different Artic animals and Dr Morley’s dream to see the giant artic jellyfish.I have read this book over and over again and really enjoy it!

Hazelwick Student

Hazelwick Shadowers

The Search for the Giant Arctic Jellyfish had the most amazing illustrations I had ever seen. It made me feel like i was being picked up and thrown into the story. I found it funny that the giant arctic jellyfish was hiding behind or underneath something when Dr Morley was looking for it. At the end of the story everyone had given up and was getting ready to go home but that is when Dr Morley saw it.

Lily

Rebel Readers

I liked the way the jelly fish is concealed in some of the pictures and you are encouraged to find him. The pictures convey a feeling of cold and calmness. I also like the hidden stories in the pictures, on one double page spread it shows a person proposing to someone. The boat's bright red and the uniform of the crew stands out against the bleak colours of the Arctic. You get a real sense of isolation from the pictures and how remote the Arctic is. Through the whole book the sky changes from bright to dark but when Dr Morley sees the jelly fish it's bright again, this makes me think of her optimism on setting off on her journey and the gloom she feels as she begins to think she'll never find the jellyfish, But thankfully in the end the sky is bright because her dream has come true. It was a lovely book and I would definitely read it again.

Rosellen

The story is like being an adventurer in you head. My favourite scene was the cross-section of the boat where everyone was doing their own thing! I liked how the jellyfish was hidden in plain sight. I found the colours very soothing especially the blues! I would rate this book. 10/10:):):)

I loved this book I would give it 9.9/10. I thought the illustrations were impeccable and the artist has really thought about the colours, blending and details like when the artist hid the jellyfish on each page. This book is very memorable and I would definitely recommend it and share it with others. I also loved the artist's use of words and the way she described things. I think the message in this book was to never give up- try, try and try again.

In this book, the illustrations are impeccable! It was all so detailed and there was a great use of blending colours. I really enjoyed how the author hid the Giant Artic Jellyfish on each page for us to find. I would definitely recommend this to anyone I know and share it with others. The adjectives were also great to when she was describing the places. The message in this book is to never give up and keep reaching for your dreams. I give this book a 9.5/10.

I thought the illustrations were excellent and matched the story perfectly I enjoyed looking at the pictures immensely even after I finished the book. There was a lot of detail which is just one of the reasons I enjoyed reading this book. Also the colours were so simple and yet so right for the area in which the story is set.

I think the medal for illustration should be for The Giant Arctic Jellyfish.I think that because the illustration is good and it leaves enough space for the author to write.It really shows how the story is laid out and the detail of the people can make a picture of what's happening.

I enjoyed this book and I think this is a book for any age. The jelly fish is hiding and the people in the boat are trying to find them and they thought the jelly fish is a myth. Later on in the book they find the jelly fish and they believe the myth that the people told them. It is very good.

THE SEARCH FOR THE GIANT ARCTIC JELLYFISH was a great book. It did not use many colours, but that meant it had more detail and you do not really focus on the colours, more the detailed pictures. I liked the crew's hair and beards growing over the course of the quest, especially one of the crew members getting a longer beard on every page! We laughed at that! The words told a story but the pictures told an even better, more detailed story. I liked going along with the pages, eager to see what was next. I especially liked the boat, because in every room there was something interesting. We saw a couple get engaged (we think!) and the jellyfish right under their eyes the whole time. Even though the story was about the jellyfish, the illustrations took me on another journey, one about a crew and their life in the Arctic. I am a massive fan of this brilliant, extraordinary, appetising book!

Chloe

Lionel Readers

I really like The search for the Giant Arctic Jellyfish because it has desciptive vocabulary: words like elusive, frolic and formidable. We also like that every picture tells a different story. There is lots of depth of colour in the illustrations. I really like the cutaway illustrations of the ship because you can see what each character is doing in different rooms of the ship. The centre spread is the best because you never see the Northern lights in a book, but in this book the illustrator actually puts the Northern lights in it with the jellyfish and the crew staring up high in the sky. The page is beautiful to look at.

Maci

Lionel Readers

The Search For The Giant Arctic Jellyfish is a spectacular book. Not only does it tell the story through the text, but also with the illustrations, which add a lot of extra detail and information to the story. The author really put attention to detail including the facial features of the crew members. The illustrations are stunning . I particularly love the northern lights illustration as it reminds me of when I saw them in real life. 4.9+0.1 stars out of 5!
