Kom op, een fluo octopus op een huis? Ik wil zeker meer weten! Waar komt ie vandaan? Waarom stort het huis niet in? Heeft ie water nodig? Waarom is hij daar?

A warm and witty rhyming story about welcoming newcomers. Sunglasses at the ready – this book has zingy fluorescent ink on the cover and inside illustrations. The fantastic hand-illustrated picture coupled with a number of very interesting octopus facts is perfect for introducing kids to the animal. There are facts about where they live, what they eat and even how many hearts they have, so your kids will learn a great deal about the 8-legged sea creature. When a giant octopus arrives, the children LOVE their new friend: he makes the perfect slide and is fantastic at football! But some of the grown-ups aren’t so pleased. Will they drive away their spectacular, tentacular chum … or will they realise just how helpful and fun an octopus can be? De tekeningen waren prachtig gedaan (zoals ik al had verwacht van Steven Lenton), al werd ik wel verblind door de octopus want hij is gewoon fluo oranje en mijn ogen vinden dat niet al te tof. Hij valt in ieder geval op. Maybe your kids found these octopus facts interesting and now they want to learn about other animals that live under the sea, such as sharks or starfish.
