Have you ever thought about what the best aquatic pet would be? It's an octopus, of course! When a little girl fantasizes about having a crazy smart octopus pet, she pictures jumping rope with its tentacles, practicing different ball games simultaneously, and playing hide-and-seek with her camouflaging friend (just look out for the ink!). With vibrant illustrations and playful rhymes, If I Had an Octopus is a laugh-out-loud story celebrating friendship between a child and her octopus. From the duo behind If I Had a Dinosaur , If I Had a Sleepy Sloth , and If I Had a Unicorn , Gabby Dawnay and Alex Barrow's latest is a charming and imaginative tale about our favorite eight-armed creature.
