Amazon Description
He has a little problem: He can never remember "anything," Homework? Favorite games? The names of his friends? "Forget it!"Then one day Seamore runs--"smack!"--into a killer whale.
Seamore completely forgets that porpoises are supposed to be afraid of killer whales.
Or are they?
One Potato Review
Seibold and his regular collaborators (Vivian Walsh, Judy Sierra and, here, Darcie Edgemon) don’t always seem to know where they’re going when they set out, but they find their bearings eventually in stories of hard-working dogs, and over-the-hill wolves, and vegetarian vampires, in fact it’s these characters who are often the destination. Here it’s a porpoise wondering how he could be so absent-minded, discovering the hole in his head, then (not looking where he is going) running smack into a killer whale named Kevin who happens to collect coins and enjoys playing hide-and-seek. And so on. That there’s no reason for this to finish when it does (and no recommendation to speak of, beyond trust) is only a tribute this author’s, and this illustrator’s, endless abilities to entertain.
