I was really expecting to enjoy this one more than I did, as I have read and appreciated other books from both the author and illustrator here. I also really adore octopodes, so what's not to love? Unfortunately, although the artwork here was cute, I thought the rhyme scheme was forced, and the text read awkwardly, in more than one place. I also wasn't sold on the bath time scene, in which everyone gets wet - don't octopodes live underwater?
