By Far the Absolute Best Children's Book Ever Written

This is my favorite children's book. It's so much fun to read aloud. And there's just something silly and fun about an octopus say "I'M THE BEST. ARTIST. IN THE OCEAN" The Octopus lends himself nicely to voices, there's plenty to talk about: different ways of painting, making a mess, perspective... Don't be turned off by the straight-laced spoil-sport who gave it two stars. This is a great book. I mean, look at the cover. That's a funny mustache.

Fun read-aloud

The giant squid is hysterical. The first book is better with inferencing skills, but you can do a lot with this one as well. Pair with other ocean books and ask lots of higher order questions.. -Could he really paint underwater? -What could he use for paint? (Octopus ink:)) -Why is he quiet when the shark goes by? (First book) -Would all these animals live in the same ocean areas in real life? -Do squids have mustaches?
