Reviews

The Octopus’s Garden is a wonderful book for children... images are cleverly used to convey information in a manner readily processed by children. This book is guaranteed to attract their attention. The pictures are incredible... (T)he best way to enjoy this book is to watch the accompanying DVD and at the same time read the pieces of information from the book about the octopi. I was mesmerised.
