Octopus has eight arms and they can do everything! Keith Baker brings this sea creature to life on the rollicking pages of this board book charmer. The perfect size for little hands and built to withstand toddler troubles, My Octopus Arms is a lovely rhyming tribute.
Because they have eight arms, Octopus can multitask: pulling on socks, unlocking locks, building a wall and play sports. The best thing about Octopus? It's their ability to grow their arms. They get longer and longer...long enough for hugs.
The cover sells this story. Kudos to Baker for illustrations of Octopus interacting with other sea creatures; they can not only do it all, they do it with a smile for friends.
Highly, highly recommended ages 18 months and up.
