A fantastic book about the octopus who goes on a journey of self-exploration. I love how the book showed that by being out of our comfort zones we can uncover things about ourselves that we didn't know, or potentially would never know. The book also has beautiful illustrations and has the opportunity for very interactive and meaningful discussions with pupils. The book also contains fantastic words which can help with phonics and vocabulary, "ping, bip, bong, whoosh, swoosh, plink, plonk and plop" are all a few of my favourites. The opportunity to add expression to these words will really allow the reader to create a scene for their audience and ensure the children are gripped on what's about to happen next. The book also starts and ends with a beautiful picture of the coral under the sea. I love this and think it allows the children to use their own ideas and perspective to both sets the scene at the start, and then summarise at the end.
