Peanut Butter and Jellyfish

Peanut Butter and Jellyfish are the best of friends. They swim up. They swim down. They swim all around. Except near Crabby, who never has anything nice to say to them. "You two swim like humans" is the least of his insults. 
Then one day Crabby is caught in a lobster trap and needs their help! Should they help him?  It's Peanut Butter and Jellyfish to the rescue! Crabby might be afraid of heights . . . but will he be brave enough to apologize?

This charming story about friendship, kindness, and building social skills is perfect for preschoolers and kindergarteners.
