What a sweet, funny, hopeful and informative book! Although Zanetti does not shy away from showing the impact of human "slobbishness" on ocean ecology, he also shows that will-power can make a very positive difference. I enjoyed the Dad jokes and the relationships amongst the sea creatures, whilst learning fun facts about octopuses by stealth. Really looking forward to sharing this with some of the younger readers in my school. A short story overall, written in short chapters, which makes it a very achievable junior fiction read.

An easy read about a very clever octopus and his interactions with the world, both sea life and humans. The main story is fiction, but the author also devotes a good bit of the book to factual information, with an emphasis on environmental issues. Should inspire many young readers.

Adorable, informative, and punny! This is the way to do a children's book that parents will actually enjoy reading with their little ones. Octo's adventure combined with the fun octopus facts and his humor help this story give info on sea creatures and also how we as humans can keep them safe. Definitely recommend to educators and parents alike!
