Book
When Mother tells her young son about a sea voyage they took some years earlier she adds, "but you were only a baby, you wouldn't remember." But, as the reader soon discovers, the boy has quite vivid memories--of increasingly hilarious goings-on that made no impression whatsoever on his amusingly oblivious mother and aunt.

Praise for You, Me and the Big Blue Sea

Kirkus Reviews
 
A mother underestimates her yo
ung son’s memory in Fitzpatrick’s inventive offering. . . . Fitzgerald’s illustrations work in tandem with the text and are notable in their attention to detail.  Children will enjoy pointing out the activity in each scene, making this a good choice for lap sharing.
 
 
 
Booklist
 
This charming, frisky tale begins as a mother reminds her son about a trip they took across the ocean. . . . This is a smooth blend of text and art, but the pictures are particularly fine, expertly executed, rich with color, and full of surprises.
 
 
 
School Library Journal
 
The repetitive, engaging text has a musical quality and lovely rhythm while the illustrations lend a child's perspective as readers feel the enormity of the rolling seas and the details of the ship through the discovering eyes of a child.  Simple and beautiful seagulls fly on the warm endpapers.  A lovely addition
