Book Synopsis


Trade Review
“In the opening panels of this wordless picture book, an octopus emerges from his home, pulling a small walrus in a red wagon. He climbs up a rope dropped by a hippopotamus fisherman and is caught, and from there his adventures take off in a series of three-to-four boxed illustrations per page. Young children will giggle as he wiggles his way through busy cobblestone streets, evading a hippopotamus city worker’s broom and the clutches of a walrus chef and a rat waiter in a tux. The artist’s signature cartoons are colorful, whimsical, and entertaining. Mayer continues to enchant a new generation of readers.” —School Library Journal
