HYSTERICAL!! My sons and I must have read this about 15 times this weekend and we never stopped laughing! Original, silly, off-the-wall, just like I like 'em!

The absurdist adventures of two unlikely friends, Octopus and Cowboy (who isn't very bright). Great for kids into jokes.

When reading this aloud the cowboy should definitely sound like George Bush and the Octopus should sound like Hugh Laurie, from Blackadder, not House.

Jon Sciezka always makes me laugh! (Though sometimes I wonder if the humor is a little bit over the top and some kids may not get it...)
Told in very short stories, we follow Cowboy and Octopus's friendship. Cowboy and Octopus are such odd friends and that fits, because this is an odd little book.

Brought to us by the team that created The True Story of the Three Little Pigs and The Stinky Cheese Man, this is a collection of mini-stories (I'd call them mini-moments) shared between two unlikely friends, Cowboy and Octopus. Leo asks for this one by name and I laughed out loud at some of the lines. It's a book I wanted to share with anyone who's been a funny friend to me.

A stirring tale of friendship between a paper doll cowboy and an intelligent octopus. Joh Scieszka and Lane Smith are my heroes.

This book is filled with numerous stories surrounding the friendship of cowboy and octopus, two unlikely friends who have their disagreements but still know the importance of each other. Their differences are highlighted in a way that shows that one doesn't need to be the same as everyone else to be a good friend. It's a great book for kids and it's very easy to read.

This was charming and quirky, but watching my husband cackle as he read it elevated it to four stars.

Not my favorite, but I can see some kids loving it. Cowboy's witlessness matched with Octopus' patience reminds me of alternate universe odd couple.
