What a wonderful little book!
I was a huge fan of the author's first book: Hug me! and I am not disappointed by this next one.
It's the story of a little octopus who's just plain shy and who has trouble adapting to life at school, in class or at recess. It's hard to participate or to make friends.
I like the themes that were dealt with in this book, the illustrations are cute and the text is often funny, but it's also so much more than that. I think a lot of kids will identitfy with the octopus and how hard it is to be yourself when you are shy and introverted.
A very important book, def recommend!
