Cute bedtime story for the younger crowd!

An interesting premise, but too many arms, too many words, too frenetic to stick with.

A young octopus leads his parents through the bedtime routine and puts them down to sleep.
Cute but the illustrations and text are a bit messy.

After the 2nd reading, still unsatisfied by the illustrations.

Picture book. This book shows a bedtime routine, but the young octopus is trying to put his parents to bed instead of the other way around. The pictures are bright and full of fun, the text is very energetic and told in rhyme. This would be a fun book to read at a storytime, though the amount of text makes it too long for toddlers. Seeing the pajama struggle when there were three octopuses involved was a memorable scene.
