An Octopus jets under the sea November 6, 2004
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
An easy read for the beginning reader with the illustrations to guide the non-reader along with vivid and detailed illustrations of life under the sea.
The rhyming text is quite amusing that takes the reader on a fast journey along with the Octopus Under The Sea. You can count all eight arms on one page and watch him eat a shrimp and crab on the next. It seems sharks like to eat Octopus but they are able to shoot out water to make their escape. At other times they shoot out black ink, faster than some can blink.
In each illustration the Octopus Under The Sea is a different shaded Octopus. One is set in a grayish tone, another is speckled red and orange with another being green. The shape of them reminds me of a spider walking along with its legs. The places under the sea that an Octopus calls home are caves and holes below the ocean waves.
The illustration of the black ink resembles a charcoal color and it seems like you could touch it and feel the heat. There are ways an Octopus can camouflage in the sea when someone dangerous approaches. The sea life is plentiful with purple starfish, red berries and greenery. It would be nice to know what the names are of these items under the sea because it is worth noting and learning.
Octopus Under The Sea is an enjoyable read for my son who likes to stop and discuss what the Octopus is doing and predict what the next page will have or who will try to eat him. " An Octopus eats, hides, and flees in every one of Earth's blue seas." This would serve as an introductory book on the Octopus and spark the discussion on sea life and how colorful it is down below. My son is very happy to be able to read Octopus Under The Sea on his own and share with his class as a reminder of their class trip.
