Reviews
truly heartwarming, as well
as very funny. It's a blend
of traditional picture book
and graphic novel format,
which kept me engaged and
the story moving ahead. It's
a wonderful story about a
boy and his cephalopod and
a cuddly bedtime read." -- Dan Yaccarino "award-winning children's book author, illustrator, and television producer"
