      Finished, water was difficult....
      English is not my strength, so if the text needs some correction, I am open to any help.

        @MichaelaH I love the water! Also, all of the expressions are awesome.

        As for the text, the double quotation marks (" ") should be placed at the top like this:

        "Ohhh, ohhh, you know this one?"

        and

        "Why don't bears like fast food?
        Because they can't catch it!"

              This looks great Michaela, i was looking forward to seeing this finished yay!
              As for the text, I don't think you need to say 'the fish with the red fins' as we can see from your illustration that he has red fins ๐Ÿ™‚
              Maybe give them names like Little Fish and Big Bear or something, and I think there should be a pause between when the fish asks the question and then tells the punchline, maybe say something like "Bear started to think, but before he could answer..." so that the Bear is involved and the reader can follow the conversation between the two characters ๐Ÿ™‚

                  @hannahmccaffery What about this?:

                  โ€žOhhh, ohhh you know this one?โ€œ

                  Flip dinโ€˜t wait for the bear to answer and started to tell its joke:
                  โ€žWhy don't bears like fast food?โ€œ

                  Berry started to think, but before he could answer...
                  โ€žBecause they can't catch it!โ€œ

                    @MichaelaH That's flows much better in my opinion ๐Ÿ™‚ You may want to lose the line "Flip didn't wait etc" and maybe have something like:

                    "Ohhh, ohhh do you know this one?" Flip asked "Why don't bears like fast food?"

                    Berry started to think, but before he could answer-
                    "Because they can't catch it!" Flip blurted out as he splashed around in a fit of giggles.

                    That's only an idea anyway, I'm not the best at writing so it's totally what you're happy with and what you think flows well ๐Ÿ™‚

                        Fab! Are you happy with it as that's the important thing? ๐Ÿ™‚ I think the text gives Flip more of personality now and I would love to see more of these characters ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
