Thank You, Octopus
Thank You, Octopus | Darren Farrell
29 posts | 2 read
Fans of Mo Willems will love this funny bedtime story! Ahoy! It's bedtime, and Octopus is here to help his buddy get ready. First up is a bath (Thank you, Octopus) . . . in egg salad (No, thank you, Octopus)! Then its time to brush teethwith paint brushes! And don't worry, Octopus made sure there were no monsters under the bedbecause theyre all in the closet! No, thank you, Octopus! Each page turn brings new wordplay and laughs in this hip, nautical-themed take on bedtime and friendship . . . ending with a great big surprise for Octopus and sweet dreams for two best friends.

As the new year approaches, I just want to say thank you to all of you for taking part in my photo challenges. After more than a year of hosting them, I'm going to take a break and just participate in others' challenges instead (or at least try to!). It's been fun coming up with prompts and seeing everyone's posts! Thank you so much!

Funny, short book that teaches kids when to say "Thank You" and "No Thank You" to a ridiculous Octopus sailor. Reading it with my wee boy while he wore red Mickey Mouse pajamas at 5 am was a gift. #4stars #kidsbooks #picturebooks #wackyoctopus
