Synopsis
Wilfred Walrus and Neville Narwhal are the only kids in Miss Blubber’s class who are not seals. Life is tough being the odd ones out - lunchtimes and football matches and school photos all present challenges to the two outliers. And they don’t even like each other very much!

A warm, funny tale about friendship and fitting in that school-aged

Review
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY REVIEW: Though the plot is familiar―two misfits blossoming thanks to a charismatic newcomer―the characters’ arc toward friendship and self-acceptance is refreshing, and the watercolor pictures by Bunnell (Disappearing Acts), which combine a sketchbook intimacy with the textural warmth and color pop of old school lithography, pair well with the low-key narration.
BOOKTRUST REVIEW: This empowering, super-cute read is a must for all children, whether they feel like the odd-one-out or not.
READ IT DADDY: If you're going to write a children's picture book about friendship, or about how being different can be cool, you'd better bring your A-Game because - to be quite honest - we see so many books with those core themes that they all begin to blur into one.
Thankfully in the case of "Iced Out" by CK Smouha and Isabella Bunnell, both author and artist have indeed brought their A-Game, delivering a nifty ocean-based tale of three distinctly different animals who soon realise that despite their appearance, they all have something in common.
Kids will wholly identify what it feels like to be a bit of a fish out of water, and sometimes it feels like everyone else in school has something in common - and if you don't 'fit in' it can be a tough time, but this book rather stylishly shows that sometimes it takes others to recognise the awesomeness we secretly carry around with us all the time.
A brilliantly written and gorgeously illustrated life lesson that will help kids realise that 'different can be cool'.
READING ZONE REVIEW: This story is simple and the pictures are engaging. With themes about being yourself, being different and being independent, it is a nice book to share at story time.
THE BOOK ACTIVIST REVIEW: This is a lively picture book featuring the antics of Wilfred the Walrus and Neville the Narwhal as they try and fit in amongst a class of not very friendly seals. Bright and expressive illustrations capture the narrative in this engaging tale about friendship and being happy with who you are. Great fun!
A GREAT READ REVIEW: A warm, funny tale about friendship and fitting in that school-aged children are sure to identify with. Isabella Bunnell's joyous watercolour illustrations are complimented by luxuriant packaging.
PARENTS IN TOUCH REVIEW: Three lovely marine characters are at the heart of this charming story about friendship, being adaptable and fitting in. With a little help from a beluga, the walrus and the narwhal learn that it's good to be different. A lovely way to convey an important message, with traditionally-styled illustrations by Isabella Bunnell.
