Speedy the Weedy
Urchins are eating Speedy’s home, so he sets off with his eggs to find a safe place for them to hatch.
Speedy the weedy seadragon spends his days posing for divers in his seafloor home – until a new current sweeps in invasive urchins! Carrying his eggs on his tail, he bravely sets off in search of a safe place for them to hatch. Along the way he meets all kinds of critters to kindly point him in the right direction on his hunt for the ideal habitat – Giant Kelp.
Learn about these special sea critters via beautifully textured realistic illustrations that bring the speedy the seadragon and his surroundings to vivid life.
